[JENKINS-827] Negative phrasing "don't send email on every unstable build" #421

Description

@jenkins-infra-bot

Using the negative sense on a checkbox is usually a bad idea. People can better
understand positive phrasing. Suggest this checkbox in project configuration be
defaulted to checked, and the text changed to

[X] Send email on every unstable build

This would also be consistent with the checkbox below it.
