Set up infrastructure for push message subscriptions.

A subscription allows an application server (here, the Pilcrow server) to send web push messages to a user agent.

On the server, Pilcrow records subscriptions verbatim, in the clear. Each subscription has an associated key, which will be used to encrypt messages for the corresponding client, but we store them in the clear, for the same broad reason that we store the VAPID key in the clear. They allow anyone who obtains them to impersonate the server and send push messages to clients, but they're rotated regularly - clients must rotate them whenever the server's VAPID key changes.

On the client, we monitor VAPID key change events to drive automatic subscription management, once the user sets up an initial subscription manually (which we must do as it can involve a user-interaction-only prompt for permission to send notifications). This isn't the final UI, but rather a bare-minimum version to let us move on with testing push notifications.

Merges push-subscribe into push-notify.
