Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Please support push notifications to notify apps about changed notes.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great if changes to notes would be send out as push notifications (e.g. via unified push/nextpush) so clients could get notified that updates are necessary rather than having to poll on the API.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently clients seem to poll for changes which isn't ideal for battery life on mobile.
Additional context
The iotas app can connect to nextcloud to sync notes and it would be great if it could get notified about updates.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how clients currently poll the notes API and how note changes are exposed, then investigate the UnifiedPush/NextPush integration points. Done means subscribed clients receive a notification when notes change and no longer need to rely solely on polling.
