 Similar to #43546

 Here’s the flow i’m imaginging:

 - user contacts admin to request erasure of their data (can be by email,
 phone call, postal mail, etc)
 - admin enters the user’s email address in the box near the erasure
 request table and hits request-verification button
 - mike jolley’s magic code sends the verification email to the user
 - user clicks the link in the email thus verifying the request
 - admin sees a badge/dot/number on the wp-admin sidebar menu and goes to
 the erasure requests wp list table and sees the user verified the request
 - admin clicks on the "erase personal data" action for the verified
 request
 - a progress indicator is displayed for that row of the wp list table
 while erasure is in progress
 - after erasure is complete, if the user was a registered user, admin is
 prompted whether they'd like to also delete the user's account
 - if the admin consents, the user account is then deleted
