How to set up and validate locally

This is a difficult set of changes to test in the GDK, as they range widely.

For most changes, the change is only a change in the copy the user sees and has no mechanical/functional change. These changes have already undergone Technical Writing review.

Mechanically, I think special reviewer scrutiny is probably due to my changes in app/helpers/emails_helper.rb and its spec file /spec/helpers/emails_helper_spec.rb. Previously, this file only returned the reason part of a split internationalized string, but I have changed it to return the entire message.

These changes can be most conveniently reviewed by visiting the mailer preview app (http://gdk.test:3000/rails/mailers) and checking the contents of generated emails.
