Sends out a notification for a user

This is all it takes for a module to send out some notification for a user.

However, a real event is produced so other modules may want to provide secondary subscriptions and notifications for these simple events

Parameters

$uid: User id for destination

$subject: Notification subject

$body: Optional notification body

$action: Optional action name, so other modules can define specific message parts for their actions

$params: Optional array of additional parameters to be stored with the event. For example, one could store the sender of a message, as otherwise this information might not be easily retrievable during message sending on cron. Only available when the full notification system is used and not just the messaging module.
