#3267: disable mailing list mode

Mailing list mode results in a firehose of email from discourse as
documented here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-is-mailing-list-
mode/46008
Which cautions:
> you might set it as default if you want your end users to get regular
notices of all traffic in all categories, by default.
And:
> hilariously, if you’re just “watching” a topic, you’ll get all the
emails, with context, and you won’t get your own posts.
With this in mind I would like to disable the setting, so it is not
available to trip up new users.

sounds like a good idea to me. I'd go for it and anyone can complain here
if they have issue.

I have disabled mailing list mode and confirmed the option is no longer
visible when reviewing my user email preferences.
I also lots of sensible settings here that would be good to review.

Comment (by jive):
For anyone who had enabled mailing list mode - they can no longer access
the setting to opt-out!
Indeed the setting only hides the user interface, rather than turn off the
functionality (classic solution to unwanted feature).
To address:
- Use admin settings to re-enable mailing list mode option for everyone
- navigate to their user preferences, email, and and uncheck mailing-list
mode
- return to admin settings to disable mailing list mode again.
