Add system design: notifications (SNS-style pub/sub)

[gardusig]

Goal

Outline multi-channel notifications: topics/subscriptions, templating, retries, and user preferences. This note lives in gardusig/interviewing as interview prep, not production runbooks.

Acceptance criteria

• New markdown under system-design/concepts/ or system-design/architecture/ (pick the closer fit) and linked from the relevant folder README.md index when appropriate.
• Covers: requirements, scale or traffic assumptions, core APIs or events, data model sketch, and failure modes or retries.
• Optional mermaid diagram if it clarifies data or control flow.
• Stays shareable: no confidential employer internals, customer PII, or unreleasable numbers—use rounded hypothetical loads.
