#40835: Password and email change emails should not contain site-specific wording
on multisite

--------------------------+--------------------------------------
 With multisite enabled, the following three actions (there may be more)
 result in an email being sent to the user which contains wording specific
 to the site that the user happens to be on when they perform the action:

 * Attempt to change their email address.
 * Confirmed change of email address.
 * Changed password.

 As an example, here's the text from the "Notice of Password Change" email:

 {{{
 Hi john,

 This notice confirms that your password was changed on Site B.

 If you did not change your password, please contact the Site Administrator
 at
 siteb at example.com

 This email has been sent to john at example.com

 Regards,
 All at Site B
 http://mtrunk.wp/siteb
 }}}

 This is misleading because it's not immediately clear whether my password
 was changed on all the sites on the network, or whether the change was
 specific to "Site B".

 In addition, the email address shown is the email address of the site
 administrator, not the network administrator. The site administrator does
 not necessarily have the ability to manage users.

 There may be similar considerations to those raised in #21352 regarding a
 user's awareness of the site being part of a network of sites.
