Automatically removes the Tumblr notification urging users to uninstall Missing-E #29

This commit adds an experimental option to remove the notification. This option defaults to off. It is experimental because I'm not exactly sure what tumblr is doing server-side with this information, this option just removes the client side effects. What I do know is that the notification is added in server side, and uses a cookie to track the response, but that seems rather irrelevant.

You may be apprehensive about antagonizing tumblr by adding this feature, but my reasoning is that Missing-E is an extension built for the sole purpose of improving the user experience and usability of tumblr. The notification does not stop showing up when you click "Acknowledge" or "Uninstall", and therefore detracts from both usability and the user experience, and thus I feel it is reasonable to add a feature that removes such a notification. Remember - It is opt-in, and hidden under the experimental tag. Only people who know about it and really want it will use it!

That said, if you don't want to include it, I perfectly understand. Thanks for the hard work, I much appreciate the extension. :)

This is not something I feel comfortable including. However, I recently found that someone put together a short userscript that does this same thing: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/121937
