 We currently have a way for users to disable email notifications via a
 user's "Settings > Email" page.

 We need a way for users to be able to disable screen notifications as
 well.

 This presents a few things we need to tackle:
 - Add a new "Settings > Notifications" page.
     - The "Settings > Email" page already uses the slug `'notifications'`.
 Perhaps this new page will use a slug like `'screen-notifications'`?
 - Plugins need a way to register settings fields for inclusion on a
 "Settings > Notifications" page.
     - If no plugins have registered any settings, offer some generic
 fields based on the `'component_name'` so users can disable all
 notifications for a component all at once.
 - Add some form of user meta check into
 `bp_notifications_add_notification()` so the notification will not be
 recorded if a user has chosen to disable it for a given
 `'component_action'`.

 FYI, Twitter calls their email notifications page - `Email Notifications`.
 And their screen notifications page - `Web Notifications`.  Something to
 think about when we decide to build this out.
