#50141: Data erasure/export links should notify the user that the action has
already been confirmed

----------------------------+-----------------------------
 When a data erasure/export process is started, an email is sent to the
 email to confirm the action. That email contains only-use-once link that
 needs to be confirmed for the process to start.

 The first request to that url has a nice "Thanks, you'll be notified when
 ready" type message, but clicking the link a second time will just trigger
 a `wp_die( 'This link has expired.' );` message without any context as to
 why.

 It's also possible that some email scanners (Either on the server, or on
 an email client) may request the URL on the users behalf to verify if the
 URL contains any malicious content in which case the email owner would
 never actually see the success message, and only the expired link message.
