Description
The email sharing button includes an option to protect the email form with reCAPTCHA:
https://jetpack.com/support/sharing/#captcha
In #2152, we updated that form to use reCAPTCHA v2.
Since Google now offers a new version of reCAPTCHA, dubbed invisible reCAPTCHA, we could switch to this new API:
- https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/invisible

Research direction
The issue points to the email sharing form and the reCAPTCHA v2 change in #2152; start by locating that implementation and read Google's invisible reCAPTCHA documentation. Done means the email sharing form uses the invisible API while retaining protection against abuse.
