Description of the need
When a user changes their email address, Backdrop should send an email with a unique link to the user with the new email address so that the user is required to confirm the change.
Inspired by https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/85494
This is the patch that would be the closest to what will work here: https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/85494#comment-450598.
In reading the drupal.org comments, this change should not allow someone to change both the password and the email address at the same time. And there should ideally be a way to keep sending notifications to the original email address until the change is confirmed.

I use Lando (a wrapper for docker) and find settings changes happen straight away
