Add more notification methods

The notification stuff has been refactored now. For a start, each user (only admins) can decide what they want to get notified about by email. If you want notification about specific things, happy to add more but we just added the basics right now.

Making more change to backup stuff relies on getting the global lock changes out and well tested before we make more changes here. We will get 8.2 out in the coming week(s). Apart from backups, I think we implemented all the features listed initially. Will also help us get out Formbricks, Wallos and some other apps which rely on 8.2 features.

@girish About "app is down", I'm interested in a way to tune "restart automatically" for app being down. It's not the first time I notice an app is down or not responding because it crashed during the night and in the morning I have to manually restart it.
it happened for instance that my wordpress blog was stopped due to high traffic because of being on the frontpage of hacker news... and so was down for several hours... what a pity

[girish]

@SansGuidon I think we can add an automatic restart (one time when health check fails) next release. I guess we can make this hardcoded/automatic in the platform itself.

8.2 is shaping up to be an awesome release! Can’t wait to see it. Great job!

Does that mean the backup stuff listed above isn't going to be included in 8.2?

Brilliant round of features for quality of life and peace of mind — thank you

Very small quality of life request for 8.2:
Please ensure these tool tip / help / further reading links open in a new tab or window rather than linking directly to the resource which causes the user to lose any data they've entered into the form/process.

@umnz it opens a new tab for me . Which browser are you using?

[umnz]

@Joseph I'm using Safari. Which browser are you using?

iOS / iPadOS? macOS? There are settings to control the "new tab" behavior in both.

@umnz chrome on Linux

I know it's not Christmas yet, but can I open my gift (8.2)?

Will install the update tonight. Thank you for your hard work @staff!
