Timer should resume not reset on proximity out

Bug Description

With the current implementation, it looks like the timer is reset every time the pointer exits from the proximity area. This creates a paradox because it makes the ephemeral notifications more persistent the more the user interacts with the content underneath them.

Proposed solution:

- Pause the timer when the pointer enters in the proximity area
- Resume (not reset) the timer when the pointer exits the proximity area

The full table of durations (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#Bubble_behavior) has not been implemented yet, as it needs "pause-able" timers, which are not available in glib. There was effort started on implementing those, but I was pulled away from that, so had to do what I could without them.

Can't you save and compare time stamps?
