Description
### The required feature described as a wish
As a User/Admin/Operator I would like to have email sent to the end user when admin changes the password
Steps to reproduce the issue
1. As a Admin user, Create a account with user role
2. Change the password
3. No email is sent to the end user mail id intimating the password change
Currently if a users tries the forgot password option, an email is sent to the end user based on the following global setting
```
user.password.reset.mail.template
Hello {{username}}!
You have requested to reset your password. Please click the following link to reset your password:
{{{resetLink}}}
If you did not request a password reset, please ignore this email.
Regards,
The CloudStack Team
```
Similarly a mail should be sent to the end user with the new password

Research direction
Start by tracing the admin password-change flow and compare it with the existing forgot-password flow described in the issue. Read the user.password.reset.mail.template setting and the linked password-recovery documentation; done means an end user receives the intended notification after an administrator changes the password.
