> char is sometimes included in password reset link

Description

When account is created or user requests password reset link, WordPress will send e-mail containing reset link like:

To reset your password, visit the following address:

<​http://wordpress4.local/wp-login.php?action=rp&key=jtbl17b22h4N1QpEYCL7&login=admin>

Problem is that some e-mail clients will parse URL incorrectly and include > into URL, so reset link won't work. I know this is not an WordPress issue, but easy fix for everyone would be to add spaces in between < > and URL.
