[Bug 349550] [NEW] giver should check the notification server capabilities

[David Barth]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: giver

Giver is currently using notifications to present the recipient of a
transfer with an option to accept or deny a file.

However, implementations like notify-osd do not let applications use
notifications for such interactions, and instead encourage the use of
better interaction mechanisms, like a dialog box or a morphing
application window.

Note: this bug started as #347081. It was triggered by a change in
notify-sharp that silently omits actions in a notification request if
the remote server does not support the capability.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#Giver and
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotificationDevelopmentGuidelines#Avoiding%20actions
for suggestions on how to fix giver.
