Remind user when a record is running x hours

Because maybe the user forgot to stop the time. This is very user-specific. Some users may do many different things, each taking just a few minutes, other may work on one thing for several hours. Therefore this should probably be configurable. The notifying is probably best done via web notifications.

There is some overlap with the Pomodoro feature here. Though this issue represents cases where a user forgot to stop a timer and is running for a way too long time.

@almarklein I could really benefit from a notification if my current record is running for x hours. I played around a little and tried to hack a notification into the frontend that uses the Notifications API to alert the user after some time if the current record is still running. I could show you my current "hacky" version in a PR if you think that a client-side solution for this, using the Notifications API, would be the right way to go.

On timetagger.app it can also send an email (via email list API call), but cannot do that for self-hosted versions because you need a service to send the email. In any case, a notification is probably the best (firs) way to alert the user.
