[Patternfly] Notification/Alert

[Catherine Robson]

This pattern Liz shows was also used by S-RAMP in the JBoss Fuse Service 
Works product.  I don't have a screenshot handy.  Depending on how 
visible the alerts need to be I think this works.  In S-RAMP it was 
overused and distracting to the user I felt.
