Initial work to add notification reason to emails
Adds `#build_notification_recipients` to `NotificationRecipientService`
that returns the `NotificationRecipient` objects in order to be able to
access the new attribute `reason`.
This new attribute is used in the different notifier methods in order to
add the reason as a header: `X-GitLab-NotificationReason`.
Only the reason with the most priority gets sent.
