[Bug 2122103] [NEW] [FFE] Let update-notifier show a notification rather than popping up the update-manager window and stealing focus

[Alessandro Astone]

Public bug reported:

In Wayland the --no-focus-on-map flag of update-manager has no effect.

GNOME Shell and most other Wayland desktops default to focusing any new window
because the mechanism to explicitly request focus is not broadly implemented
yet, so the update-manager window always steals focus when automatically
launched.

Let's revert back to showing an appindicator and a notification, instead of
automatically launching update-manager.

The notification will offer options to inspect the available updates, or
a one-click to install them all directly.

An appindicator will also always be visible, to be easily reached even
if the notification was previously dismissed.
