Message:

Emails: add unsubscribe feature.

Updates the unsubscribe token to link to a new unsubscribe action handler.

All emails from other platforms or popular websites have a unsubscribe link. For previous versions of BuddyPress, our unsubscribe link pointed to that user's notifications page. However, if someone creates an account on a BuddyPress with a fraudulent email address (for example), that email address' owner will not know the account's authentication details, and so have no way to unsubscribe from that "spam" email.

The change implements a new action handler which accepts unsubscription requests from un-authenticated requests. It adds an new option containing a dynamically generated salt which is used to generate the hash on the unsubscribe link.

Fixes #6932

Props tharsheblows, DJPaul
