We often send a bunch of emails for CfP acceptance, which clogs up admin processes and can fail. Inserting them into a DB table also means we get the same transaction lifetime, so we don't need to worry about periodic commits.

Emails don't get sent until the periodic task is run (
./flask periodic), so we should probably run that inside docker-compose. They can also be delayed up to a minute as a result, so it might be worth adding a way of poking the scheduler.There's currently no process to delete sent emails, which we'd probably want to be determined by the caller.
Fixes #1997.
