Feature: Skip alerts for GCal's "Focus time"

[OldhamMade]

Issue that this suggestion fixes

Many users block out chunks of their google calendar with "Focus time" events. Generally we don't need to be notified of such events.

For example, I block out my first hour of every day as focus time to work on administrative tasks. I don't need to be notified of this, it is simply to ensure nobody books in a meeting during that time.

Solution description

Provide a toggle in settings to "Account for Focus Time", which would check the event's notification settings and only raise a notification if any notification is set.

Given a meeting's title begins with "focus time" (case insensitive)
And the "Account for Focus Time" setting is enabled
When the time of the meeting arrives
And the meeting does NOT have a notification set
Then an alert should NOT be raised

Alternatives considered

Another option might be to provide a textarea in Advanced settings where users can define regular expressions to use to filter and suppress alerts. Eg:

Suppress alerts for events that match the following expressions:
^(Focus time).*
