getNotificationCount & getLastUnreadNotificationTime have an
argument $cached that allows cache to be bypassed & read from
DB. That result is then stored to cache.
In practice, it seems to be used only for cache invalidation.
getLastUnreadNotificationTime didn't allow to specify the DB
to be read from, and EchoNotificationMapper::fetchUnreadByUser
only read from slave.
So when we wanted to invalidate the cache, we would end up
immediately repopulating it with data from a (potentially and
likely) lagging slave.
I've made it accept the DB type, similar to getNotificationCount.

I tried to stick as close to the existing code as possible.
Special:Notifications is slightly different from the overlay,
however. I made it add .mw-echo-unread class for consistency,
but that JS doesn't record seen time (it only loads older
entries), not does the CSS fadeout apply there (it marks
everything as read as soon as it's displayed, so different
behavior from overlay)
PS: I'm not sure about browser compat for the fadeout. But
even if some obscure browsers don't support this, meh. It's
not an "important" feature that can't be missed.
