Parking should have better notification. More than just an error message in the Executed actions widget

The customer is using Parking to suspend and bring up scores of machines. They need to know quickly and easily if machines are NOT suspending and/or starting up.  Can we get notifications displayed in the Parking Modules.  This will make it easier for the Customer to make efficiencies without endangering performance by accidentally leaving machines OFF.

    In addition, no parking solution is complete if it's not making multiple attempts.  An assumption that making an API call will work 100% of the time is naive.  The tool needs to confirm if a parking or restart has occurred, and if not then retry X number of times (configurable) before notifying of a parking/restart failure.

    In general, we should not be required to login to Turbonomic to understand what/why parking failures occurred.

    Notifications within the Parking UI is cute, but this is better solved by including a "Notifications" email address field to all parking policies.  This will allow better communication of status updates on individual resources for their parking and restarts.
