Fenix: FNX2-15670 ⁃ Surface notification settings in app

[vesta0]

User Story

As a user, I want to know how to access my notification preferences in the app, I can easily change my settings.

Acceptance Criteria

• I can access my notification preferences from the settings page
• Fenix settings menu item can redirect user to Android Notification settings for Fenix.

What we currently have for Firefox Nightly:
UNITO-UNDERSCORE!20200729-185556!

This is for Firefox notification directly from Firefox. For web notifications we already have controls to manage this in Site Permissions -> Exceptions

This needs mocks before it is eng ready

@eliserichards I would advise adding a new menu item under Settings → Privacy and Security

• This item should deep-link to Android System Settings → Apps and notifications → Notifications → Firefox
• This item should be positioned below “Delete browsing data on quit”
• String: “Notifications”
  
  
  
  • @betsymi, the word “Notifications” refers to messages that Firefox shows at the Android System level when e.g. Private Browsing is currently active, audio/video is currently playing, or a crash just happened.

Looking towards the future when we have more download-related settings (e.g.: select default download folder), we can make a new menu item called “Downloads”. When tapped, it can lead to a sub-page that contains “Use external download manager” as one of the items inside it.

This new setting redirects to the OS app-specific notification setting for Oreo and higher. For these API-related issues, #5898 and https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/12901#issuecomment-665294281 chose to link to SUMO articles instead on devices that are missing the related API. I was unable to find a SUMO article for this specific notification setting, but https://support.google.com/android/answer/9079661 could be the most general target here, or creating a new SUMO article for this.

@brampitoyo Do we want to show notification setting for versions before Oreo? It will take you to different settings, as channels were implemented only since Oreo.

This is the screen setting for API level 22, for example.
