Use the Comment Blacklist to check Contact Form submissions for spam.

[cfinke]

The Comment Blacklist is a means to moderate discussion. Contact forms are 1:1 discussion forums, ripe for abuse by users who have been removed from the public discussion, so we should respect any terms in the Comment Blacklist for contact form submissions.

At the very least, we should consider a contact-form-specific blacklist, if it isn't acceptable to use the Comment Blacklist.

Fixes #430

Changes proposed in this Pull Request:

• This change would check contact form submissions for terms in the Comment Blacklist before checking them with Akismet, treating contact form submissions more like how WordPress core treats comments.

After apply this patch:

1. Submit the contact form multiple times, with and without "bannedword" in all of the different contact form fields.
