feat: show boot process notifications for PDDB

This commit shows two notifications:
 1. as soon as the device boots, a notification greets the user and
 tells them everything is fine, the device is booting
 2. as soon as the user enters (or doesn't) enter the password, a
 notification tell the user Xous is loading and mounting PDDB

I spent too much time on this but I believe it's a nice UX improvement.
