Summary: This allows one to subscribe to notifications from notification server.
Test Plan:
tested using very simple QML
```
import QtQuick 2.0
import org.kde.notificationmanager 1.1 as Notifications
...
Notifications.NotificationWatchedModel {
id: model
}
```

This ensures that newer notification popups don't push old ones out.
Some applications are notorious for spamming the user which right now results in a firework
of notification popups. With this patch only the number that fits on screen is displayed and
everything beyond that is off screen until there's enough room for new popups which are
then gradually lowered.
It also reduces the likelihood of the notification the user is interacting with being shifted
away by an incoming notification. Furthermore, since notifications that are off screen will
have their timeout reset, it can happen that you have a bunch of recent notifications at the
bottom but then get some old ones that were off screen sliding back in because some middle ones
have expired already, leading to awkward results.
Notification scoring (e.g. critical before normal) is untouched, so a "battery is critical" notification
will show up even if it's still chugging through the backlog of browser notifications.

- Improve compact reprsentation
- Keep popup open during interaction (context menu, drag)
- Improve "ago" label (e.g. show "Last Sunday")
- Improve group visuals (still pretty much WIP)
- Hide popups when interacted (opened file, triggered file action, etc)
Closing when having invoked an action isn't implemented yet but is probably neccessary
- Make autohide job popup setting work
- Set critical AlwaysOnTop (requires KWin patch)
- Improve error handling in ThumbnailStrip
Show file icon if thumbnail generation failed instead of a blank space
- Add heuristic for popup placement and make custom setting work
- Add deviceName and displayApplicationName (for KDE Connect)
So it can show from which device and which app this notification originally came from
- Improved service discovery (and defaultComponent handling)
Quite a few notifications, e.g. DrKonqi crashes are in plasma_workspace.notifyrc
When we get an event like this, show the original app instead
- Make blacklist for popup and history work
- Add "lastRead" property for "unread" handling vs "expired" (latter likely to be dropped)
- Add sortMode so history is strictly sorted by date (it's grouped after all)
- Begin work on do not disturb UI in plasmoid
- Notification action buttons
- Custom icon pixmaps in notifications
- Popup handling
- Notification urgency (low isn't shown as popup TBD, critical always no matter what)
- History stuff (only expired notifications end up there, none that were closed or revoked)
- Text selection and copy for body text
- Basic tray icon support
and many other things
Application jobs are shown as part of regular notifications:
- They show up as little popup that can be hidden in the history
- When finished progress popup turns into a notification
There's still some glitches and missing features, notably
- Screenshot thumbnails
- "Open" functionality for finished jobs
- History layout
- code cleanup
- and basically every configuration option
libnotificationmanager provides a proper notification model situation similar
to libtaskmanager. There is also a new notification applet implementing the
suggestions and VDG mockups in the wiki
NOTE: the notification dataengine is defunct in this branch, so while the applet
(for now) installs as "new notifications", the old applet will stop working when
you use this. The dataengine will eventually be restored (famous last words)
for compatibility but using the NotificationServer singleton introduced in
libnotificationmanager.
The applet can show notifications, they expire, can be closed, and their
default action invoked. Still heavily WIP and API subject to change.
