[ticket/11444] Moving the in-board notifications to a method class

Currently the in-board method for the notifications is hardcoded and cannot be disabled. This method should be in his own class extending `phpbb\notification\method\method_interface`. It also add the possibility, for each method, to be enabled by default (ie: no entry in the DB => notification enabled). https://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-11444 https://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-11967 PHPBB3-11444
