Description

If a spatialized voice moderator performs multiple mute/unmute operations, each operation generates a new LLToastAlertPanel, which stacks on top of any modal alerts that were previously created (and not yet cleared by the user). If this features keeps the modal alert design (rather than a passive toast notification), it would be helpful to clear any outdated moderation alerts when creating the new one.

Reproduction steps

1. UserA and UserB: using a viewer with spatial voice moderation support, login to a simulator that also supports that feature
2. UserA and UserB: go to a location that UserA has moderation ability over over (i.e. UserA is an estate manager or parcel owner, depending on whether the parcel is on the region channel or a private parcel channel)
3. UserA: Open the Conversations floater, and right click on any user's name (including your own), and select 'Moderator Options' -> 'Mute everyone'
4. UserA: Select 'Moderator Options' -> 'Unmute everyone'
5. Repeat steps (3) and (4) a few times, then note UserB's UI state

Actual results:
After UserA has made each of the changes (each negates the previous operation), UserB's viewer shows a modal alert for each change. Here's a video of UserB clearing those modals:

Expected results:
If the alert needs to be modal (should it?), it would be best for the last moderation-related alert to cause the previous alerts to disappear from view. Only the most recent moderation change is relevant to UserB.

@roxanneskelly suggested the alert should be a non-modal toast. I think this would probably be fine and resolve the annoyance I have with stacked notifications.

Testing again with Second Life Test 7.2.3.19367393699 (64bit), the voice moderation update notifications appear as regular toast notifications rather than modal alerts, as shown here:

These notifications are not disruptive and disappear after a few seconds. I verified that both muting and unmuting operations have the correct notifications. Passes QA
