Comment (by NathanAtmoz):

 The changes in #39118 are beneficial to the majority of use cases and I
 don't think they should be reverted.

 In the case that you're a sys admin, and you want to changed the site
 email, and outgoing email is not available, and you're unable to query the
 database to update the administrator password field, then you can add the
 following as a must-use plugin:

 {{{
 add_action( 'load-options-general.php', function() {
   $new_admin_details = get_option( 'adminhash' );
   if( is_array( $new_admin_details) && ! empty( $new_admin_details ) ) {
     update_option( 'admin_email', $new_admin_details[ 'newemail' ] );
     delete_option( 'adminhash' );
     delete_option( 'new_admin_email' );
     $redirect = 'options-general.php?updated=true';
     wp_redirect( admin_url( $redirect ) );
   }
 });
 }}}

 Then you'll be able to change the email addresses on the Options General
 page without email confirmation.
