Summary

This adds a quick reply feature with a text field inline in the notification popup.
An action named reply will spawn the text field and a NotificationReplied signal is emitted then.
There's additional kde hints for changing the placeholder text (defaults to "Type a reply..."), submit button text (defaults to "Send") and submit button icon name (defaults to "document-send", that paper aeroplane icon).

Test Plan

Depends on D25832 for KWin
Doesn't work on Wayland because there notifications never ever ever get focus and I am sick and tired of running after KWin people to have this addressed.

Notification, just has a normal button - should we have some form of indication that it will spawn a quick reply here actually instead of e.g. bringing up the app or something?


Default placeholder and button

Custom placeholder and button

Button enabled after typing (can also hit Return/Enter so send)

Beautiful! Can we make it handle multi-line text input by becoming taller?

I'm not sure. TextArea is a lot more annoying to work with, and the replies typically are short. I think Android also only has single line.

All right, let's stay with a single line for now.

I'll change that to "inline-reply" to avoid potential clashes

Will rename to "inline-reply"
