Research direction

Start by reading the existing firebase_admin_auth support for generate_password_reset_link and compare its behavior with the Node.js client. Review the REST API alternative described in the issue and determine how the new send_password_reset_email function should fit the Admin SDK. Done means Firebase sends the password-reset email without requiring callers to make a separate HTTP request.

Description

needs-triage type: feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Via firebase_admin_auth I'm able to create and manage users. When I want to generate a password reset email through the default Firebase functionality (Firebase sends the email), I'm not able to do this through the Admin SDK, as only generate_password_reset_link is supported. I have to resort to sending a REST API call instead.

Describe the solution you'd like
Support a send_password_reset_email function that sends an email via Firebase to reset her password, similar to the Node.js client.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Sending a REST API call through HTTP.
