Users: Avoid ambiguous password reset URLs for usernames ending in a period.

When WordPress sends out a password-reset or new-user email, it generates
a link for someone to follow in order to take them to the reset page. If
the user login name ends in a period, however, that generated URL will
end in a period and many email clients will confuse it with a
sentence-ending period instead of being part of the query arguments.

In this patch, the generated URL's query argument are rearranged so that
the link will never end in a period. Alternative ideas were explored to
create a new function to escape URL-ending periods, but this patch resolves
the reported problem without raising any further architectural questions.
