Add "join" option and invite message to comm invite emails

Title:
Add "join" option and invite message to comm invite emails

Area:
Communities

Summary:
The email notification you receive when someone invites you to join a comm should have an option in it that allows you to join it. It should also contain a short, optional message if it doesn't already.

Description:
A friend sent me an invite to join an RP comm we were discussing on XMPP, and I looked all over the email for a link to accept the invitation but I didn't see one! There was an option to subscribe, but not to join.

Maybe this was because it didn't have open membership? The link "Manage your invitations" took me to a page where I could click "Accept," but it was kind of confusing and involved radio buttons and things. I actually first clicked "Subscribe to [this community]," then ended up clicking "Join" from there and submitting a request that way instead of accepting the invite.

The workflow should be that I can click on "Accept" from the email, and ideally would have some of the information I'd need to make that decision too. Like a quick note that says "Hey, we'd like you to join our RP comm!" if there isn't an option to send one alone with the invite already. Then once I click Accept, I'm a part of the comm without needing approval, and am taken to a page where I can choose to subscribe to it also.
