Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
If an account's email address is changed, nextcloud sends a notification to the old email address. The new email address is neither notified, nor verified.
A wrongly entered email address can lead to different problems and verification might be necessary in some settings.
Describe the solution you'd like
Send a verification link to the newly entered email address upon change. Keep the old address until the new one is verified.

Research direction
The issue does not name files or tests; start by tracing the account email-change flow and the existing notification to the old address. Done means the new address receives a verification link, the old address remains in use until verification succeeds, and the relevant behavior is covered by tests.
