Title:
  Add a "Do Not Disturb" setting to prevent interruptions/notifications

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  New
Status in indicator-messages package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Some poor usability decisions made by the Ubuntu-Unity team (e.g., see
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1346355) have
  resulted in too many distractions when trying to work on projects.

  As discussed in Bug #1346355, not having a perpetual indicator that
  indicates a restart is needed, users do not remember the computer
  needs restarting. Hence, they are always dealing with popups that
  interrupt their workflow.

  Gnome-Shell offers a "Do Not Disturb" setting that prevents
  notifications from occurring. Ubuntu/Unity needs the same.

  When "Do Not Disturb" is enabled, no notifications should post and no
  Launcher icons should "popout" from the left margin of the screen (as
  they do when the Launcher is set to "Auto-Hide"). Do Not Disturb
  should suppress all manner of popups, popouts, etc.
