[gnome-shell/wip/new-notifications: 11/13] messageTray: Glue the notification to the bottom of the screen, always

    messageTray: Glue the notification to the bottom of the screen, always
    
    We'll animate notifications popping up with another system soon enough,
    instead. The idea here is that instead of carefully animating the Y
    position of the notificationWidget when a notification updates, we
    simply animate the height of the new actor inside the notification.
    This will fix some of the awkward updates where instead of the
    notification content expanding, we see the buttons or action area
    pushed off the edge of the screen...
    
    Animations that happen as a result of adding something new to the
    notification or expanding it should be done by tweeing the new actors
    in inside the notification.
