The desktop portal gained initial support for v2 of the notification spec. This finally allows flatpak applications to set categories (most notably `im.received`) and markup body, thus catching up with non-portaled applications.

(Note to app developers: glib's widely used notification implementation doesn't forward that yet (gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/) but libnotify does.
