Public bug reported:

We should clean up the notification system to make it internally closer
to activity streams:

  http://activitystrea.ms/specs/atom/1.0/

Converting activity types to verbs and adding missing objects and actors
will allow us to dynamically generate many of the sentences that we now
store as text in the message column of the
notification_internal_activity table.

There is a standard list of verbs that we could reuse here:

  http://activitystrea.ms/head/activity-schema.html

Other than making Mahara feeds (see
https://wiki.mahara.org/index.php/Developer_Area/Specifications_in_Development/Notification_Feeds)
compatible with modern social applications, it will make it possible to
programmatically parse our notifications.
