Avoid watch-notification flood in NotifySend

[ildella]

🚀 Feature Proposal

Support transient notifications on NotifySend (Linux notifications) so the Notification Panel UI is not flooded by Jest notifications.

Motivation

Wach/Notify is really useful.
I use it on Ubuntu/Gnome all the time.
After a full day of work, all the notifications, which can be a LOT, are accumulated in the Gnome notifications UI. Open that UI now takes a very long time, and the panel is flooded by Jest notifications, which is not nice.

Example

Just work a whole day with Jest watch and notifications enabled.

Pitch

The solution would be to make the notification of NotifySend transient, at least as an option.

The underlying implementation using node-notifier would be this:

notifier.notify({
    title: 'Disappear',
    message: 'magic',
    hint: 'int:transient:1',
  })

The hint: 'int:transient:1' would do the trick. The notification will then appear but will not stay in the Notification panel, so there will be no clutter or slow load time afterwards.

Makes sense to me, even as the default behavior. Wanna send a PR? notify_reporter should be the relevant file.
