Feature #21022: Notifications should be durable

----------------------------------------
If a puppet run is canceled, crashes or is otherwise interrupted, notifications 
are lost. This is particularly bad if you consider the following scenario:

1. Puppet updates a configuration file that notifies a service to restart
2. Puppet schedules the restart
3. Puppet run is canceled

In this case the file is already updated but the service is not restarted yet. 
Assuming there is nothing else that notifies it, the service is never restarted 
and you end up being in an inconsistent state. Also subsequent puppet runs 
don't fix this inconsistency.

In my opinion notifications should be persisted to disk until they were 
exercised. A subsequent puppet run should then re-schedule outstanding 
notifications from a canceled previous run.
