Description

Introduce a new server setting that changes the default enablement of email notifications for users.

If this setting is enabled, users who have not configured email notifications will not receive email notifications by default. If this setting is disabled, behaviour remains the same as before.

I made this change because I find that users can often be annoyed when receiving emails they haven't consented to receiving. Rather than enforcing a default consent across all Overseerr instances, it made more sense to leave that decision up to the server owner. Now server owners can decide whether they require their users to consent/opt-in to receiving email notifications.
