How to add additional email addresses when email is sent to WordPress admin_email option value

 * WARNING: this only checks if the email is being sent to the same email as admin_email option.
 * If for some reason another email is sent to that same email address, but it's not meant as an "admin email"
 * this filter will still add those additional emails, just something to keep in mind.
