Make ffap correctly guess remote file names at point

* lisp/ffap.el (ffap-lax-url): Set it to nil so that remote file
names may be matched.
(ffap-fixup-email): New function.
(ffap-guesser): Specially handle email addresses now that
'ffap-lax-url' is nil, as user@host fails to be matched as an
email address with that setting.  (Bug#67688)

* etc/NEWS: Announce the new value of the defcustom.
