[Koha] Problems adding new members in 17.11

[Tim McMahon]

I also got the required labels for passwords after I tried to save. 
Entering three characters or more will make them go away.

The earlier versions of Koha would validate emails while you were 
entering them.  I noticed this version only validates emails when you save.
