Add information to subscription notifications

Title:
Add information to subscription notifications

Area:
Email notifications, subscriptions

Summary:
The notification that someone's subscribed to you or granted you access should contain more information so you know who they are.

Description:
When I get a notification that someone's subscribed to me or granted me access, it says:

"[whoever] has subscribed to your journal; your public entries will be displayed on [whoever's] Reading Page."

That's it. Not very informative.

I think we should add some or all of:

* user pic
* name (if given in profile)
* location (if given in profile)
* who you have in common (mutual friends, communities, etc)
* interests you have in common
* bio text (from profile)
* latest public entries (summarised, just the subject and a few lines)

Exactly which items should be included would be a matter of mocking up some examples and seeing how they look. I'm not fixated on exactly what should be included, but basically I'd just like to get some more information/context so I can go "oh, of course, that's one of my friends from X!"
