Minimally invasive notification counter

[pinzart90]

Purpose

Generates log of all notifications generated in Dynamo specifically:

1. WPF binding PropertyChanged events
2. Model NotificationObject's PropertyChanged events
3. ObservableCollection CollectionChanged events

A notification counter that generates/updates a notifications.log file in Dynamo's executing assembly folder (every 5 seconds - if any notifications exist). The log file can be deleted at any time (even while Dynamo is running) Notification logs will always try to be merged/added back to existing logs in the notifications.log folder. Deleting the notifications.log basically allow you to do a fresh count of notifications (should wait 5 seconds after deleting to make sure no cached notifications are added)

Debug builds will have a new dll in the bin folder - 0Harmony.dll Release builds will not have the new dll.

Instructions to use: Debug builds :

• Create/update the debug.config file (in Dynamo's executing assembly folder) to include the NotificationCounter debug mode.
• After Dynamo starts, the debug mode can be switched off.

Release builds :

• Copy the 0Harmony.dll from nuget in Dynamo's executing assembly folder
• Create/update the debug.config file (in Dynamo's executing assembly folder) to include the NotificationCounter debug mode.

Example debug.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DebugModes>
    <DebugMode name="NotificationCounter" enabled="true"/>
</DebugModes>

Our team is also touching the notifications display. Is this meant to change how the current Notifications view extension works?

[mjkkirschner]

@QilongTang I'm pretty sure "Notifications" here refers to property changes /binding updates in WPF.

[mjkkirschner]

@pinzart90 do you think we could call this something like binding events or something like that instead of notifications to disambiguate this from the user notifications work?

@pinzart90 it also appears that the test job for this PR has failed a few times in a row while running the tests, log is not telling me much but have not deep dived, it seems to be running on dyn_perf_002 - maybe take a look on that machine.
