Add commit_email to Users API
What does this MR do?
The User#commit_email attribute has as much importance as public_email (for example, it is also relevant to privacy), but is frequently overlooked. For example, the Users API does not support it, whereas it does support public_email. This adds support for the User#commit_email attribute to the Users API to make it equivalent to . Update: Because public_emailcommit_email is sensitive like email, it is treated the same way as email, meaning only visible to admins.
This also clarifies the documentation for creating users by removing public_email, which is not officially supported by that endpoint.
