Remove Insecure usage of Notifications (deprecated)

Remove access to the Notifications API on insecure origins. This will prevent sites from requesting notification permission or creating non-persistent local notifications over HTTP. Sites using the Notification API for web push must already be on secure origins due to the requirement for a service worker. Removal is anticipated in Chrome 61.
