54eadaffcc Improve admin-facing email templates (#6216)
* Improve subject lines for admin-facing emails

A few of the current subjects are ambiguous about the expected
action, and some omit context that would help in an inbox preview
(which event, which address). The rewrites bring them closer to
common conventions in modern transactional email (verb-led,
recipient-addressed, with recipient-meaningful variables). Two
themes:

- Action-required emails lead with the action verb. "Reset your
  password", "Confirm event cancellation and bulk refund", and
  "Confirm <address> as a sender address" tell the recipient up
  front what's expected, where "Password recovery", "Bulk-refund
  confirmation" and "Sender address verification" did not.

- Surface the relevant variable when the email is about something
  specific. "Data shredding completed for <event>" is more useful
  than the generic version when an admin manages several events.
  "You've been invited to join <organizer>" names the inviting
  organizer. "Confirm <address> as a sender address" names the
  address.

The remaining rewrites are lighter rewordings. "New sign-in to
your account" replaces "Login from new source detected" because
"source" is jargon a non-technical recipient wouldn't recognise.
"Changes to your account" replaces "Account information changed"
because the possessive frames the email as being about the
recipient's own account.

Also fixes a hardcoded "pretix" in the confirmation-code subject.

* Standardise admin email sign-offs as "Thanks, The <instance> Team"

The current sign-offs ("Best regards, Your <instance> team") have
a formal tone. A review of the last ~20 transactional emails in
my inbox showed most senders use something friendlier:

- Thanks: Deliveroo, Starling Bank, GitHub, Cloudflare
- Thank you: AWS
- Sincerely: Google Workspace

A small minority (e.g., Sentry) had no sign-off at all. "Thanks"
was the most common, and among that group "The <instance> Team"
was the consistent phrasing rather than "Your <instance> team".

Two templates (cancel_confirm, export_failed) didn't have a
sign-off; they now get one for consistency. Notification emails
are deliberately excluded: they're system alerts rather than
direct correspondence.

* Add anti-phishing notice to admin emails containing confirmation codes

Three admin emails send the recipient a confirmation code to
enter back into a form: confirmation_code, email_setup, and
cancel_confirm. Only confirmation_code had an anti-phishing
warning, and its wording was awkward ("Please do never give this
code to another person. Our support team will never ask for this
code.").

This commit standardises the warning across all three:

> Don't share this code with anyone. The <instance> team will
> never ask you for it.

* Add structured details to login-notice email

The single-sentence body ("The login was performed using <agent>
on <os> from <country>.") is replaced with a labelled bullet list:
Time, Browser, Operating system, Device, Country.

Time and Device are new fields. Device is omitted when ua-parser
can't identify the device, Country when GeoIP isn't available,
so the user only sees fields with real values.

* Restructure notification.txt for clearer layout

- Attributes: bullet list instead of paragraph-per-attribute.

- Actions: label gets a colon, URL on its own paragraph (was
  4-space-indented code block).

- Footer: separated by --- and bulleted (manage / disable
  links). "Click here X" phrasing dropped (incidentally moots
  a missing-"to" typo).

- Minor whitespace fix: detail-block endif now matches the
  placement of the rest of the template.

notification.html's footer text is also updated, only to match
the new .txt wording (link labels and intro line). No
structural changes to the HTML template.

* Improve confirmation-code email reason strings

- Drop the redundant "to confirm" opener.

- Replace hardcoded "your pretix account" in email_verify
  with "{instance}".

* Polish admin email body copy

A small wording and formatting pass on the admin email bodies,
in three loosely-grouped themes:

1. Sentence case for body text (previously lowercase after
   "Hello,"), matching standard English convention.

2. Light restructuring where helpful: bullet lists for sets
   of labelled facts; 4-space-indented code blocks for codes
   the recipient is meant to type back.

3. Phrasing polish. Some sentences tightened or shortened.
   Largely matters of taste, but generally read smoother.

Reinventing ticket presales, one ticket at a time.

Project status & release cycle
------------------------------

While there is always a lot to do and improve on, pretix by now has been in use for thousands of events
conferences that sold millions of tickets combined. We therefore think of pretix as being stable and ready to use.

If you want to use or extend pretix, we strongly recommend to follow our `blog`_. We will announce all
releases there. You can always find the latest stable version on PyPI or in the ``release/X.Y`` branch of
this repository. The ``master`` branch contains a development version that we also try to keep stable in
the sense that it does not break your data,  but its APIs might change without prior notice.

To get started using pretix on your own server, look at the `installation guide`_ in our documentation.

Support
