Description
Issue details page shows "Due in X days" information next to the due date (#31499). I think it is useful and consistent if the infromation is also shown in email notification.

This may be confusing in some cases. If I read this email 2 days later, "due in 9 days" is misleading, since it should be "due in 7 days" now, but email will contain initial and outdated label. Using relative dates in emails (which are static) is a different story than relative dates on website (which will update on every page refresh).
