Create a notification settings plug [$100]

[Danielle Foré]

What it says on the tin. Several apps have implemented their own notification settings. We should create a single location to configure per-app notification settings to save developers from doing this work.

This plug needs to contain:
* Enabling/Disabling all notifications (Do Not Disturb mode)
* Enabling/Disabling notification bubbles per app
* Enabling/Disabling notification sounds per app

Some other stuff that might be cool:
* Enabling/Disabling confirmations by category (Media, Network, Backlight, External Hardware)
* Enabling/Disabling notifications per app by priority (e.g. disable low or normal notifications, but still show high priority notifications)
* Enabling/Disabling notification badges (shown in Plank)
* Enabling/Disabling messaging/notification indicator integration per app

Cool Idea!
I will try if I can do it, but I will need some help.

Should there be an dialog that asks after the first start of an app if that app should be allowed to show notifications? Could that not be a bit annoying?

Hey Marcus, after some discussion with design team, we think that notifications are common/low risk enough that we shouldn't need to ask access for the notification server. This plug should make it easy enough to disable them if they're causing a headache :)

I'm going to mark this is fixed since it's already implemented. It just needs to be packaged and pulled in on the image.
