Caught the error and displayed an error PNG so it is obvious something
failed. Currently it displayed a thumbnail of a png over the top of the
loading page, and therefore it wasn't obvious of the state.
Users who have the ‘manage API keys’ permission can see the settings
page. But they don’t have permission to request to go live.
At the moment they can still see the link, though clicking it gives them
a 403 error. This commit changes it so that they can’t see the link, and
tells them who they should speak to about going live (their manager).
We have tickets from people asking how long the process takes. I suspect
that this is because they’re not getting to the bottom of the form
before they’re ready to go live.
A lot of users aren’t reading or paying attention to the checklist on
the request to go live page. We think that we can get more people to
read it by putting it on its own page, where users won’t jump straight
to filling in the form.
This will, later on, let us make this page smarter by automatically
detecting if they’ve done the necessary things.

Both `<button type='submit'>Submit<button>` and
`<input type='submit' value='Submit'>` can be used to submit a form.
We have historically[1] used `<input>` because it’s better-supported by
IE6 in that:
- the `submit` attribute is mandatory on `<button>`, not on `<input>`
- the `innerHTML` of a button will be submitted to the server, not the
value (as in other browsers)
Reasons to now use `<button>` instead:
- IE6/7 support is no longer a concern (especially with deprecation of
TLS 1.0 on the way)
- Because an `<input>` element can’t have children, the pseudo-element
hack[2] used to ensure the top edge of the button is clickable doesn’t
work. We’re seeing this bug[3] affect real users in research.
1. We inhereted our buttons from Digital Marketplace, here is me making

In research we saw developers having difficulty getting back to Notify once they’d
navigated to the documentation.
One way we think this might be alleviated is by keeping Notify open in the same tab,
and having the documentation open in a new tab.
It’s polite to tell users that this is going to happen.
`rel=noopener` stops the site we’re redirecting people to (Github) have script
access to the orginal Notify tab (see https://mathiasbynens.github.io/rel-noopener/ )
