Checks the code sent to the new address and moves the account to it.

`POST /user/email/verify`

## TL;DR

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does it do? | Move your account to the new email address. |
| What does it take? | A JSON body of type [`EmailVerifyBody`](https://docs.plotwork.dev/api/schemas.md#emailverifybody). |
| What does it return? | Status 200 with a body of type [`AccountProfile`](https://docs.plotwork.dev/api/schemas.md#accountprofile). |
| What can go wrong? | `400` the body is not valid; `401` not signed in, or the code is wrong, expired, or used (`auth.code_invalid`); `403` an organisation manages the address (`account.email_managed`), or the origin may not make changes; `409` another account has the address (`account.email_taken`); `429` too many requests. Every failure uses the one error envelope. |
