Moderation notifications

The idea is that @mkfain wants auto-messages sent in regards to moderation actions and to make moderation workflow more efficient.
1. Send users a notification when a mod takes action on their status
Users should receive a notification in their notifications when a mod takes an action on their account. Possibly there can be an Admin setting to determine what account the notification will appear to come from? It could be a chat or DM (personally, I'd prefer to take advantage of the chat feature). Maybe the content text should also be customizable, or a note can be attached to the notification? For example:
Hi, [@accountname]. Your status was deleted by [Instance] moderators.
Note: "Rule 4"
or
Hi, [@accountname]. Your status[link] was marked as Sensitive by [Instance] moderators.
Note: "NSFW media should be marked"
2. Automatically send users an email when account-level action is taken.
Ideally, this could also be customized in Admin settings. For example:
Hi [@accountname],
Your account has been deleted by [Instance] moderators.
Note: "Multiple rule violations after warnings"
