Hello
This PR add another notifier, which use FFI and libnotify.
Probably most of Linux notifier supported in this repository under the hood use this library.
This notifier has some advantages and disadvantages.
Support for FFI in PHP vary between distributions. Sometimes we need to install dedicated package.
In other hand can be slightly faster (we don't need to crate external process)
and more portable (we don't need external application, only libnotify).
FFI allows us to call C code from PHP script.
The FFI extension need to be installed to use this notifier.
Also support for FFI is only in CLI SAPI, due to security concerns.
At the moment I tested this notifier with:
All existing notifiers use external commands and maybe this new notifier does not meet project goals.
I decided to mark this PR as draft.
I can finish this PR if that notifier can be included in this package, otherwise you can close this PR.
