The first version of this drawer built its own rows in JS. This one renders
core's `partials/notifications_list` partial with entries the support plugin
now returns in core's notification shape, so the markup is literally the
notification drawer's: avatar block, stretched link, muted timeago, per-entry
read dot, All/Unread filter row, and the same two footer buttons. The
handlers mirror core's too — only the API paths differ, because the list is
plugin-owned (core's unread count is one aggregate with no hook to carve a
type out of it).
Opening the box no longer marks everything read: like the bell, an entry is
read when you click it or use "Mark all read", and the dot toggles both ways.
Deletes the bespoke row builder and its hand-rolled relative-time helper;
`$.timeago` is what core uses for JS-inserted rows. The dropdown reuses the
`.notifications-dropdown` class this theme already styles, so it needs no CSS
of its own. Hardcoded English is gone (the code-review finding on the first
version): every string is a translation key.

Mirrors the existing unread-drawer pattern: a new dropdown next to the
notification bell, gated on templateData.support.visible (injected by
the support plugin's filter:middleware.renderHeader hook, on every page
render, for viewers with any support access at all). Opening it fetches
GET /plugins/support/notifications via the api module, renders up to
10 entries by textContent (never innerHTML), and marks everything read
via POST .../notifications/read, clearing the badge client-side.
Also present in the mobile burger drawer, same gating.
ponytail: no live socket push for this badge (core's own unread/notification
counts get one); it only catches up on the next full page load after the
box is opened. Noted in client.js as the upgrade path if that gap matters.
Verified live against sow-nodebb-plugin-support's dev NodeBB stack (theme +
plugin both mounted): icon hidden for a user with no support access, badge
count and dropdown contents correct for a reviewer, badge clears on open.
Full plain-node test suite passes.
