Revert to use the notifications library by default.

Maxim Cournoyerrequested to merge
apteryks/gnus-desktop-notify.el:use-notifications-library-by-default into master

The alert library project itself mentions that:

For desktop notifications, the notifications package that is installed with emacs, provides a probably better alternative for most users.

and it appears true, as by default alert' simply print notification messages to the Messages' buffer, which is not exactly a desktop notification.

  • gnus-desktop-notify.el (require): Require notifications first, falling back to alert. (gnus-desktop-notify-function): Test for the notifications feature first. Mention `notifications' is the default in its doc.
