Daniele Fucini 41f94d719b Refresh quietly from the path unit and pacman hook
Add a --quiet mode that updates the pending file without notifying, run by
the new update-notify-quiet.service, so aur sync doesn't notify per package.

Daniele Fucini ffb15c0954 Keep the configured threshold in the pending file
A threshold argument is a one-off override for the notification, so status bars
keep using THRESHOLD from the config.

It overrides the `THRESHOLD` setting below for that run's notification only; the pending file keeps the configured value.
`--quiet` updates the pending file without notifying. Changes to a notification already shown are recorded, so the next timer run doesn't repeat them; a new notification is left for the timer. The pacman hook and `update-notify.path` use it (through `update-notify-quiet.service`), so building or upgrading many packages doesn't notify after each one.
