[Building Sakai] Email Template Service and Kernel

[Kirschner, Beth]

I think it's worthwhile to preserve the concept of a self-contained kernel. Adding ETS to the kernel, while keeping the tool outside of the kernel makes a lot of sense to me. That said, I'd think starting this work in the Sakai 10 branch would be a mistake.

(qa03) We had a discussion on the past in https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/KNL-484 about whether or not ETS should be in kernel, with a few people agreeing. Though on this ticket Matthew looks to be in disagreement from the comments and believes that it should remain separate.

Otherwise it seems like only way to resolve this issue would be to revert https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-24423 or rework that patch to not send notifications from the kernel (It's doing this in BaseSiteService).
