Notification action buttons

Support for the NotificationOptions.actions, Notification.actions and Notification.maxActions attributes, which allow authors to show action buttons alongside a notification. These allow users to quickly handle the most common tasks for a particular notification, without having to open the originating website. As of Chrome 53, the `Notification.actions` property is exposed as well.
