Title: [1.8] Window list applet notification improvements

- Added option in Cinnamon Settings to disable window alerts
- Added pulsing effect to window list item icon, to complement the style change when a window demands attention
- Added off-workspace notification. When a window demands attention, its window-list item will appear on the current workspace. Clicking on the item will switch to that window's workspace and focus the window.

Additionally:

- Disabled windowsAttentionHandler class - we should allow the user to decide when to change focus to a window that wants attention. Also, if a user has placed a window on another workspace, he/she generally did so for a reason - we shouldn't force that window back to the current workspace.
