#51695: Include Upgrade Notice in post-auto-update emails

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.`
