[MCHANGES-304] Include an HTML announcement template

I'm pretty sure this has been brought up before, but is there interest in including an HTML version of the announcement email velocity template as an alternative to the default plaintext one?

I've attached the one I've been using for a year or two here. It's my best attempt to emulate the appearance of the project report page with velocity. For others like me, it would eliminate having to unpack another dependency to make the email look more like the report page.

Start by reviewing the attached announcement_html.vm and the plugin's existing plaintext announcement template. Determine where announcement templates are packaged and selected, then confirm that the HTML template is available as an alternative without removing the default plaintext version.
