Bug fixes to direct users to email verification before submitting testimony

[J-C-L]

Summary

Two bugfixes addressing issue #2057

1. Added a check to the "Add Testimony" button on the Testimony Detail page so that users who have not verified their email will be asked to “verify email to add testimony”, and then led to their profile page upon clicking the button.
2. Added a redirect from the Submit Testimony page to the Profile Page for users that are not email verified

Checklist

• [ Yes ] On the frontend, I've made my strings translate-able.
• [ N/A ] If I've added shared components, I've added a storybook story.
• [ N/A ] I've made pages responsive and look good on mobile.
• [N/A ] If I've added new Firestore queries, I've added any new required indexes to firestore.indexes.json (Please do not only create indexes through the Firebase Web UI, even though the error messages may reccommend it - indexes created this way may be obliterated by subsequent deploys)
