[Owncloud] files_sharing - sharing emails as templates

[Michael Gapczynski]

Hi Martin,

This could be a nice feature for admins to configure. The template could be 
overridden by a custom theme. That ajax email file will be removed when the 
share_api branch is merged into master. You can wait after that to put in a 
merge request with the template.
