Only email users about alerts when status is triggered or resolving
What does this MR do?
Related issues: #299961 (closed), #262866 (comment 496628300)
Changes in this MR:
- Only email users about incoming alerts when the alert is triggered
- There are 2 notification features affected: Email notifications and On-call management
- Removes logic which re-triggers from prometheus alert processing
With this MR, the documentation for Email notifications is now accurate, and it wasn't technically before.
The on-call management pieces are still behind a feature flag, so they're not mentioned in the changelog here & that's why the changelog is not only in EE.
Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?
