Susana Ferreira eec6c8c120 feat: support custom notifications (#19751)
## Description

Adds support for sending an ad‑hoc custom notification to the
authenticated user via API and CLI. This is useful for surfacing the
result of scripts or long‑running tasks. Notifications are delivered
through the configured method and the dashboard Inbox, respecting
existing preferences and delivery settings.

## Changes

* New notification template: “Custom Notification” with a label for a
custom title and a custom message.
* New API endpoint: `POST /api/v2/notifications/custom` to send a custom
notification to the requesting user.
* New API endpoint: `GET /notifications/templates/custom` to get custom
notification template.
* New CLI subcommand: `coder notifications custom <title> <message>` to
send a custom notification to the requesting user.
* Documentation updates: Add a “Custom notifications” section under
Administration > Monitoring > Notifications, including instructions on
sending custom notifications and examples of when to use them.
