enhance: allow custom watches to bypass on-mention email restriction (#39652) (#39837)

Backport #39652 by @Ubayed-Bin-Sufian

Users with "Only Email on Mention" can now still receive email for the
events they picked in a custom repository watch, covering issues, pull
requests and releases. The setting is renamed to "Only Email on Mention
and Custom Watches" to make this explicit, matching GitHub's
"Participating, @mentions and custom".

"All activity" watches don't bypass the setting, because they are also
created automatically by `AUTO_WATCH_NEW_REPOS` for repository creators
and team members. To keep picking every event distinct from "All
activity", the custom watch dialog now stores a new `WatchModeCustom`.
Existing custom watches keep working without a migration.
