help-docs: Note automated PMs sent when subscribing users to streams.

Adds a shared note to both help center articles with sections on
subscribing users to streams, documenting that an automated private
message from the notification bot is sent to a user when subscribed
to a stream by another user.

Links to the article on the notification bot, and clarifies text in
that article regarding automated private messages.
