Feature
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. This would be helpful given the bug described in elementary/notifications#94, as having a configurable "starting coordinate" for notifications in the code may provide potential workarounds. Not 100% sure on that.
Describe the solution you'd like I would like to be able to configure which monitor notifications appear on.
Existing work This is supported in most other environments AFAIK -- I know for a fact that GNOME supports configuring this. There is also precedent in Elementary to support this, as Plank can be configured to go on any monitor.
Describe alternatives you've considered We could potentially allow configuring where on the monitor the notifications are displayed, in addition to which monitor they're displayed on. This is not as important IMHO as what monitor they go on.
Additional context I occasionally stream gameplay on Twitch and would like to explicitly configure notifications so that they show on the non-primary display, which is smaller, so that they don't show up on recordings, but I can still see them.
Transferring to Gala since it's responsible for positioning notification windows
