Fixes: #20301

Add a “Dismiss all” action to the bell dropdown that clears all unread notifications for the current user via a GET endpoint. The dropdown continues to show up to the most recent 10 unread items, and now includes a clear, i18n’d confirmation message that shows the total number of unread notifications affected.

Summary of changes

New view: NotificationDismissAllView registered with @register_model_view(Notification, name='dismiss_all', path='dismiss-all', detail=False); deletes unread notifications for request.user.
- HTMX requests: if invoked from the Notifications page, return an HX-Redirect to repaint the page; otherwise return the existing dropdown partial.
- Non‑HTMX requests: redirect to the Notifications page.
Dropdown partial context: Now passes only the top 10 unread notifications plus counts:
notifications = request.user.notifications.unread()[:10],
total_count = request.user.notifications.count(),
unread_count = request.user.notifications.unread().count(). :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Template update (htmx/notifications.html):
Adds a “Dismiss all” button in the dropdown header when there are unread items, with a pluralized confirmation that shows the total unread count (e.g., “Dismiss 37 unread notifications?”).
HTMX utility helpers:
Introduce htmx_current_url() and htmx_maybe_redirect_current_page() to detect the current page (via HX-Current-URL) and issue an HX-Redirect when appropriate. Both are now used by the single‑item dismiss view and the new dismiss-all view to avoid stale rows on the Notifications page. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Notes for reviewers

The button label uses “Dismiss all” to align with the route name (dismiss-all).
