ADR02: custom web push backend or which service

Decision Drivers

Everyone with a supported device should be prompted to subscribe, whether they have a user account or not
We need to be able to target specific users with accounts for individual notifications, e.g. for updates to their service requests
- It should be possible to link a subscription to a specific user account later - they might first subscribe anonymously and then login later.
User data should only be used for the purposes of providing the services in the app - it should never be used for marketing or shared with other companies.
We might also want to be able to notify only a segment of users, e.g. users interested in service outages but not latest news, or users in particular ward(s).
