Closes #5717: Disable all user module email notifications by default.

[joeparsons]

Description

Currently all of the default email notifications created by the core user module are all enabled except for these:

• status_blocked: 'Account blocked'
• status_canceled: 'Account canceled'

This PR disables all of the remaining email notification settings (by default):

• cancel_confirm: 'Account cancellation confirmation'
• password_reset: 'Notify user when password reset'
• status_activated:'Notify user when account is activated'
• register_admin_created: 'Welcome (new user created by administrator)'
• register_no_approval_required: 'Welcome (no approval required)'
• register_pending_approval: 'Welcome (awaiting approval)'

This seems like it might have some unintended breaking changes for Quickstart sites which have user registration that actually use these emails potentially.

This seems like it might have some unintended breaking changes for Quickstart sites which have user registration that actually use these emails potentially.

@tadean Do you mean because existing sites that actually rely on those emails could have them disabled when applying configuration updates?

Do you think including a release note about this change would be sufficient to minimize the impact of these changes on sites like that?

[joeparsons]

To do:

• Determine whether there is a way to change these settings via the admin UI
• Determine how to best handle changes to these settings for existing sites (DB update?)
• Look into options for disabling emails only for CAS users

I see UI checkbox options at /admin/config/people/accounts for:

• Account activation: Notify user when account is activated
• Account blocked: Notify user when account is blocked
• Account canceled: Notify user when account is canceled

I think it would be neat to have UI-based options. A new page could be created within the Arizona Quickstart Settings area with those settings. A module could also potentially be used.

https://www.drupal.org/project/mailcontrol (D11 patch)
Adds checkboxes for:

• Welcome (new user created by administrator)
• Welcome (awaiting approval)
• Welcome (no approval required)
• Account cancellation confirmation
• Password recovery

I think it'd be reasonable to make this as a minor release change as long as there is a UI element where they can adjust the settings.
