Pull Request for Issue #44827 - alternative 2 .

Summary of Changes

This pull request (PR) reverts the action log system plugin's configuration option and the corresponding database column in the #__action_logs_users table, which were added with PR #44640 and released with 5.3.0-alpha3, and changes code so that the current user is always excluded from email notifications.

I prefer the second solution. It is as usual in many applications.

We have discussed the issue and my 2 alternatives in the CMS Maintenance Team's weekly meeting and decided to use my other PR to completely revert PR #44640 before 5.3.0-beta1. Then we have all the time to work on a better solution.

Closing in favour of #44845 .
