 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
