 wp_notify_postauthor, wp_notify_moderator, wp_new_user_notification,
 wp_password_change_notification should be replaced by hooks.

 Basically, I am proposing removing the code from these functions to a
 secondary function. These functions, which are pluggable and needed for
 legacy reasons, would remain, but would just have the hook inside. This
 would ensure backward compatability.

 Not only does, in my opinion, make more sense going forward, it removes
 the assumption that a notification is an email. Today, it could be a text
 message, a push notification to a phone, so on.
