Subscription "email verification" wall for paid posts should still allow upgrading

[simison]

When reader subscribes to the blog for free, and doesn't verify their email, we show "verify your email" instead of the subscription paywall.

That's fine for free posts, but for paid walls we could continue showing the paywall and the subscription, thus allowing them to upgrade to paid plan on the spot.

It's a bit more minor situation, so the solution doesn't need to be very novel, but curious what we can think of. Perhaps we just show subscribe block inside the "verify your email" banner and it'll render as "Upgrade to paid" on its own? @crisbusquets thoughts?

@simison Although I understand the idea, these two are very different actions. Would they be able to upgrade if they haven't verified their email yet? I see it as step 1 (verify) and step 2 (when you're back to the blog, with a verified email, you can upgrade). Maybe I'm missing something.
