epriestley bfea830d09 Add email preferences to receive fewer less-important notifications
Summary:
A few similar requests have come in across several tools and use cases that I
think this does a reasonable job of resolving.

We currently send one email for each update an object receives, but these aren't
always appreciated:

  - Asana does post-commit review via Differential, so the "committed" mails are
useless.
  - Quora wants to make project category edits to bugs without spamming people
attached to them.
  - Some users in general are very sensitive to email volumes, and this gives us
a good way to reduce the volumes without incurring the complexity of
delayed-send-batching.

The technical mechanism is basically:

  - Mail may optionally have "mail tags", which indicate content in the mail
(e.g., "maniphest-priority, maniphest-cc, maniphest-comment" for a mail which
contains a priority change, a CC change, and a comment).
  - If a mail has tags, remove any recipients who have opted out of all the
tags.
  - Some tags can't be opted out of via the UI, so this ensures that important
email is still delivered (e.g., cc + assign + comment is always delivered
because you can't opt out of "assign" or "comment").

Test Plan:
  - Disabled all mail tags in the web UI.
  - Used test console to send myself mail with an opt-outable tag, it was
immediately dropped.
  - Used test console to send myself mail with an opt-outable tag and a custom
tag, it was delivered.
  - Made Differential updates affecting CCs with and without comments, got
appropriate delivery.
  - Made Maniphest updates affecting project, priority and CCs with and without
comments, got appropriate delivery.
  - Verified mail headers in all cases.
