Instead of saving the email notification to the db add it to a queue to save later.
This is an attempt to alleviate pressure on the db from the api requests.
This initial PR is to trial it see if we see improvement in the api performance an a reduction in queue pool errors. If we are happy with this we could remove the hard coding of the service id.
In a nutshell:
- If POST /v2/notification/email is from our high volume service (hard coded for now) then create a notification to send to a queue to persist the notification to the db.
- create a save_api_email task to persist the notification
- return the notification
- New worker app to process the save_api_email tasks.
By adding `exec` to the entrypoint bash script for the application, we can trap an EXIT from the script and execute our custom `on_exit` method with checks if the application process is busy before terminating, waiting up to 10 seconds. We don't need to trap `TERM` so that's been removed again.

This is so that retry-tasks queue, which can have quite a lot of
load, has its own worker, and other queues are paired with queues
that flow similarly:
- letter-tasks with create-letters-pdf-tasks
- job-tasks with database-tasks
cf v3 commands don't appear to support commands in manifest files. They
say that they do, but in practice they fail on cf v3-zdt-push with an
error message "No process types returned from stager". This can be
solved by moving the command from the manifest to a Procfile.
However, the Procfile is part of the source code, and as such is the
same for each app. To get around this, make the Procfile command invoke
a new wrapper script, which checks the NOTIFY_APP_NAME env var and then
calls the correct command
