When -notify was set, it can't be removed later on with qalter (only within qmon you have this option).

- an additonal argument to -notify (which might break existing scripts)
- a new argument -warn y[es]|n[o] and call -notify deprecated
- an additional option -unnotify or -nonotify

This feature would be useful in the following use case:

• Submit jobs with -notify
• Configure queue with very high notify time for long cleanups (eg: 1h)

=> Then there is no way to override the settings and force kill jobs immediately (with KILL signal).
