Change mailing list subscription to when the user validates their email
This change also adds support for subscribing the user to an onboarding group. Users in this group will get custom onboarding message(s), to help them along on their usage of the platform.

I found this PR today and looks useful. I'm commenting here to bump it up in your notifications, @ericholscher. It would be good to update if needed and merge it.
@humitos Yea, I've had it open in a tab for a couple weeks now trying to get back to it. It's still on my roadmap, just need to find the time to finish it up.
@ericholscher
I re-read this PR today and I'm not sure how it works on the MailerLite side and what use cases exactly it covers.
I understand that we have a "Onboard" (or similar) group on MailerLite that we add new users to it when the verify their email. At this point, MailerLite, somehow sends them the first onboarding email:
- how does it differentiate from new users and old users of that group?
- how do we tell MailerLite to send emails to these new users, but after 3 days they have subscribed?
I may be confusing some things here and it may be easy for you to explain me this in a call. As you prefer.
@humitos The tooling has support for sending campaigns to users who have signed up in a specific sequence. I don't really understand your questions though? We just only send the campaign when users are added, and it has a specific schedule.
All doubts are cleared out after chatting with you, 👍🏼
@ericholscher I updated this PR with the migration required. Let me know if there is something missing here. I'd love to deploy this next week so we can start sending emails to new users.
