 After #28020 merged in 5.8, there are two errors that I noticed in
 `wp_update_user`.

 1. Storing plain password:
 If user object to be updated is getting by `get_userdata` (with current
 user id) or `wp_get_current_user`, `wp_update_user` doesn't hash the new
 password.

 Also doesn't send password change email.

 2. Doesn't send Email change email.

 Here is my mu-plugin to produce the errors:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 namespace NefisYemekTarifleri\Test_User_Password_Hash;

 add_action( 'init', __NAMESPACE__ . '\\init' );
 function init() {
         global $wpdb;

 //      $user             = get_userdata( 1 );
         $user             = wp_get_current_user();
         $user->user_pass  = '123456';
         $user->user_email = 'adil at oztaser.com';

         wp_update_user( $user );
 }
 }}}

 I think it's not the best way to change password using `wp_update_user`,
 but if `wp_update_user` supports it, password should be hashed.

 P.S: I couldn't find any related ticket about this problem, sorry if there
 is.
