Re-word all admin e-mails to remove "click"

Problem/Motivation

The verb "click" is not inclusive. Many users interact with links without clicking them.

From #85494-330: Use email verification when changing user email addresses β†’ :

I noticed that many of the email templates reference "clicking" a link rather than "using" or "following" (or some other term that would encompass both a click and a tap).

Steps to reproduce

Generate a password-reset e-mail. It will (by default) include the text

You may now log in by clicking this link or copying and pasting it into your browser:

[user:one-time-login-url]

(with the token replaced). Or, logged in as an administrator, you can see that text in the Emails section of /admin/config/people/accounts.

Proposed resolution

Update the text to use more inclusive terms, such as "follow".

    "follow"/"following" would work well.

    Hmm... that sounds weird to me because of social media.

    In my opinion, it be better to say, please "visit" or "go to".
