Payment-review notifications

With CartThrob 10 payment reconciliation, the existing Processing event also handles payments requiring merchant review. Create a Processing notification for the intended recipients; CartThrob does not create one automatically. Branch on payment_review in its template so these messages do not ask a customer who may already have paid to send another payment. See Processing notifications for payment review for the available variables and an example.
