REVISION SUMMARY
  Sometimes we get notifications for events that are also displayed by
  Plasma, giving us some rather annoying popups.
  
  This patch provides a service on the notification dataengine so that
  other plasmoids can block the notification applet from processing those
  notifications.
  
  Intended use case is for the network manager plasomid to not show a
  notification whilst the dialog is open, as notifications come from kded.
  
  However it's kept generic enough that other plasmoids can filter on
  other hints, such as category or desktop file.

TEST PLAN
  Wrote relevant patch for plasma-nm
  Didn't get notification toggling a network whilst the popup was open
  Did after I closed the popup
