    Work on addressing bug NMS-4367:

    - Added a "contact-type" attribute to <command> in notificationCommands.xsd
    - Specified contact-type as appropriate in default notificationCommands.xml
    - Added checking for presence of non-empty value for specified contact-type on
      target user in Notifd's BroadcastEventProcessor. Schedule task anyway if it
      is not present, but log a warning which names the problematic user. This will
      aid debugging greatly.
