Configurable change to default notification setting on Add New User

As an admin user I would like the default "new user notification" setting to be configurable.

Between BC 7.4.x and BC 7.5.x the default setting on the "Add New User" page changed from not notifying the user by default to notifying them by default.

For some customers access is managed through a central group directory and single sign on so they don't need a separate BCDE notification.

By making this change we have required an extra thought and click on each new user creation for system admins.

They have requested that if possible we make this a configurable setting per server so that it can default to not notifying if the customer would like.

Practical use of functionality?

A system admin could make the choice to set their server not to notify new users by email on account creation. This would mean that there is less work for for their admins to do on each user creation going forward.

What is the impact of not doing this?

Users may receive multiple emails from several systems about logging in, which could be confusing. System admins need to remember to untick the notification box if they do not want this to happen.
