New devices can be registered using the postDeviceToken gRPC method, sending a device_token which is then stored for a given user in the Device table in the db. Whenever a new lecture is uploaded / a TUM-Live Worker notifies gocast of a finished lecture upload, a fcm notification is then triggered which sends out a push notification to all device tokens owned by the users enrolled in the stream's course.
Motivation and Context
Adds push notification using Firebase Cloud Messaging for whenever a new lecture is uploaded. Solves https://github.com/TUM-Dev/gocast_mobile/issues/73
