notification improvements: play sound, basic system tray icon support

Albrecht Dreß requested to merge 77-notification into master

See issue #77 (closed) for further details.

This branch implements the following improvements/extensions:

(1) New messages sound
Balsa had an option for playing a sound when new messages arrive, which was a no-op. Make this option functional, and unify playing sound (requires libcanberra).

(2) Basic System Tray Icon support
Add an option to display a System Tray icon which

  • changes the colour when new messages arrived,
  • shows/hides the Balsa main window on primary click,
  • shows a simple menu on secondary click. (requires libxapp, not supported by all desktop environments/wm's).
