Benedikt Heine ec26403a06 Let important notifications seep into full display queue
When the display queue had is full and a new notification would come
in, new notification wouldn't get shown until a currently displayed
notification would timeout.

Even if the notification would have been shown on top of the displayed
queue. So e.g. if the displayed queue would have been filled with
"normal" urgency notifications, an incoming "urgent" notification would
have been delayed.

To let those more important notifications through, the tail of displayed
and head of waiting are swapped on every update if necessary.
