Add .pacnew and reboot reminders

Remind about files to merge with pacdiff and a reboot after the running kernel
was upgraded. They join every notification and notify alone only for new items;
PACNEW_CHECK/REBOOT_CHECK disable them, and the pending file gets pacnew/reboot lines.

 - **Repo updates**, using `checkupdates` from pacman-contrib.
 - **AUR updates** for packages in a local aurutils repository (`aur repo -u`).
 - **Custom kernel rebuilds**: when a stock kernel (e.g. `linux-lts`) has a newer version than your custom build of it (e.g. `linux-lts-custom`).
+- **Maintenance**: `.pacnew`/`.pacsave` files to merge (`pacdiff -o`), and a reboot after the running kernel was upgraded.
 
 It sends one notification, and only when its content changes since the last one:
 
 - Update counts are shown once the total number of updates reaches a threshold (default 30). Reminders for `git-monitor` and pending firmware updates (`fwupdmgr`) are added when those tools are installed.
 - Kernel rebuild reminders are always shown, even below the threshold.
+- Maintenance reminders are added to every notification. On their own, they notify only when something new appears (a new file to merge, a new kernel to reboot into), so a `.pacnew` you keep isn't repeated.
