Option to convert all @mentions to plain text in TfsWorkItemEmbededLinkEnricher

I'm thinking this could be a (partial?) solution to these bombarding users with emails during a migration.

You can already do this with a StringManipulator...

• If your organization is using the existing HTML edtitor then add the following html code::
  @John Doe Testing mentioning
• If your organization is using the new Markdown edtitor for comments, you can use the following code: @

{
  "$type": "StringManipulatorEnricherOptions",
  "Enabled": true,
  "MaxStringLength": 1000000,
  "Manipulators": [
    {
      "$type": "RegexStringManipulator",
      "Enabled": false,
      "Pattern": "[^( -~)\\n\\r\\t]+",
      "Replacement": "",
      "Description": "Remove all non-ASKI characters between ^ and ~."
    }
  ]
}

You would need to create a pattern above that matched <div><a href="#" data-vss-mention="version:2.0,{user id}">@John Doe</a> Testing mentioning</div> and turned it into what you wanted.

It might be faster if we were able to isolate this to specific fields. The comments are stored in System.History...
