streams: Send message when a user is unsubscribed from a channel.

Previously, Notification Bot only sent messages to notify users when
they were added to channels by others. However, there was no
corresponding notification when they were removed from channels.

This commit ensures that when a user is unsubscribed from a channel
by another user, Notification Bot sends a message to inform them,
using a silent mention of the acting user. The message follows this
format:

"@_**username** unsubscribed you from the channel #channel_name."

Fixes: #29272
