Add custom tool to send notification

[anki-code]

Hi! Thanks for this xontrib!

It will be cool to have an ability to send notification using external tool.

For example run wsl-notify-send as

sp.check_output(['/tmp/wsl-notify-send.exe', '--appId', 'Title!', '-c', 'Subtitle!', 'Message!']).decode().strip()

instead of this:

is there any advantage using that? using this library is convenient , that we don't have haggle on each OS

[anki-code]

I mean something like this:

CUSTOM_NOTIFIER = xsh.env.get("XONTRIB_CD_CUSTOM_NOTIFIER", None)

if CUSTOM_NOTIFIER:
    sp.check_output(CUSTOM_NOTIFIER).decode().strip()
else:
    from notifypy import Notify 
    # ...  

and:

$XONTRIB_CD_CUSTOM_NOTIFIER = ['/tmp/wsl-notify-send.exe', '--appId', '{title}', '-c', '{subtitle}', '{message}']
xontrib load cmd_done

[jnoortheen]

could you answer why this is needed?

[anki-code]

To have a way to support WSL until notifypy hasn't this feature (https://github.com/ms7m/notify-py/issues/45).

Thanks now I understand. PRs welcome to add such functionality.
