 When a plugin update is released, an optional `Upgrade Notice` is visible
 on the Updates page explaining anything important about a plugin release.
 In the current age of automatic updates for plugins, those messages are
 not seen.

 I'm proposing that the Upgrade Notice field should be included in the
 post-auto-update emails related to the plugin - if the author has set the
 field that is.

 This would also be of benefit where a plugin receives a pushed force fix
 from WordPress.org for a security reason, a recent example was where
 someone who had not opt'd in to plugin auto updates received the update
 and was confused/concerned there was a bug.
 In that case, had the upgrade notice been included the end-user would've
 seen a pretty generic, but helpful text of `Version %s contains security
 fixes and is highly recommended for all users.`
