[Feature Request] Animations for notifications and menus #24

Expected behavior

Windows such as notifications, dmenu, and rofi to have animations.

Current Behavior

Windows such as notifications, dmenu, and rofi don't have animations.

Other details

I'm not sure if this is an issue or is already implemented and I'm just dumb, but I cannot figure out how to get these windows to have animations. If there's a config option I suppose this would be great. Having notifications with a slight transition into the screen seems like a good idea to me.

I think animations are only applied to "managed" (by the window manager) windows.

The code for the animations is pretty basic right now. It does not have a lot of options to configure, like most picom features have. This should be implemented with allow/denylists.
