Show notifications settings per profile

Feature Proposal

from a user request:

currently, the “show notifications” setting applies to all profiles.
There are situations where you want to change this setting per profile instead, especially after the multi-profile notifications feature was introduced.

maybe do not add additional switches, but just treat the existing ones as per-profile. this is also true for most other settings, so, it also makes sense from that point of view.

see allow notifications for all accounts by adbenitez · Pull Request #2464 · deltachat/deltachat-android · GitHub for some previous discussions

I think the main problem is muting other accounts, so while it can be nice to change notification settings per account, for example giving each account their own notification sound (in the future), I think the mute state might be better also shown in the account switcher?

probably makes sense, we can do this similar to what we’re doing for muted chats

since quote some time, the “show notifications” option apply for the selected profile only, same as most other settings are per-profile setting.

moreover, one can “mute notifications” directly from the profile switcher or from the profile sidebar
