For now, we want to force the markdown mode for email template editing for admi…ns, as this is a niche area and doesn't much benefit from RTE for now...we may want to revert this decision in future and do a better solution here. This commit also fixes an issue where, for templates like system_messages.reviewables_reminder which have a `one` and `other` key for their text body (and thus "multiple bodies"), we were showing `object Object` in the editor. Instead, we want to do the same thing we do for multiple subjects, which is provide a link to site texts with the text: > This email template has multiple bodies. There is only one known case of this happening so far, but at least this minimally handles the issue for now. <img width="634" height="454" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7a827e74-5d19-4ac5-ac97-a04f11957fb0" />
