Description

### Impacted plugin

Jetpack

### What

Allow users to customize the subject line on the newsletter subscription confirmation email
![Screenshot 2024-05-27 at 17 06 43](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/assets/4452464/34de6d08-6ea1-423a-85ad-f53acbd5e23e)

### How

Currently they say "[Subscribe] Confirmed subscription to posts on..." but they particularly don't like the [subscribe] part as it looks like code to them. We recently introduced a feature to customize the Welcome email message so customizing the subject line seems logical as well.

This is directly related to https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/36576 ... but could be problematic due to https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/issues/84018

Research direction

Start by tracing Jetpack's existing newsletter subscription confirmation and Welcome email customization, then review the related Jetpack issue #36576 and the wp-calypso issue #84018 for integration constraints. Done means users can set a custom subject for the subscription confirmation email without breaking the Welcome email or the related flow.
