User admin approval - Email user when approved

What does this MR do?

Email the user when their request to join an instance is approved by the instance admin.

Sanity testing:

  • Enable 'Require admin approval for new sign-ups' in Admin > Settings > General > Sign-up restrictions
  • Log out of root
  • Click 'Register now' and sign up with a new fake user. You'll see the notice "You have signed up successfully. However, we could not sign you in because your account is awaiting approval from your GitLab administrator"
  • Log back into root
  • Make sure rails-background-jobs and rails-web aren't stale-- could be good to do a gdk restart rails here just to be safe
  • Admin > Users > Pending approval > Approve the user
  • You'll see the job enqueued at http://127.0.0.1:3000/admin/sidekiq/queues/mailers, and after a few seconds it'll show up in http://localhost:3000/rails/letter_opener/
  • Check that the html and plaintext emails have the correct information
