Browser Notifications

ServiceWorker doesn't live long enough to be used with notifications. In fact, SSE is even not usually exposed in the workers: w3c/ServiceWorker#947

What I believe we need is web push: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API
"The service worker will be started as necessary to handle incoming push messages" which sounds like our case.

It requires additional work on the server but I think the implementation will be trivial.

Tested on Chrome, Opera and Firefox on Windows, seems to work fine. The pop up window is showing it self in the bottom right corner overlaying the newMailActionButton

It works in mobile Firefox too but not in mobile Chrome (they probably want service worker implementation).
Icon doesn't work with Chrome on Linux and with Safari but it seems like it's not our fault
