Motivation for this change

Add option for specifying command that will be used for sending notifications.
See https://github.com/rfjakob/earlyoom#notifications for details.

Also there is now a script in the repo for sending notifications to all users. When a new version of earlyoom will be released, perhaps it'll make sense to add an option to use this script.

I've changed the type. What's the difference? Seems to do something with how it's merged?

Yeah, types.string concatenates strings for merging, which is almost never what you want, so that's why it's deprecated.

Can you provide an example in the example attribute?

I've added example from earlyoom's readme. I didn't want to add it because it's fairly convoluted.

example = "sudo -u example_user DISPLAY=:0 DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus notify-send";
description = ''

Oh one more thing, you need to wrap the link in <link xlink:href="https://..."/> to make it show up correctly in the rendered docs.
