Drupal: Create a Slim Site Alert Block Content

[bryanpizzillo]

As a site admin, I would like to be able to easily add slim site alerts on the web site, in order to present important information to our site visitors.

ESTIMATE TBD

We will need to create a new custom block type (custom_block) for Slim Site Alerts. This should allow users with the site admin role to place a block with the alert message in the ncids_notification region.

Add analytics to this ticket that are similar to the analytics on #3404 ...
