[Patternfly] Toast notification positions

[Allie Jacobs]

One of the users I tested during customer convergence said he was concerned
about the toast covering up an important menu item in the top right. He
suggested having the notifications come down from the top middle. I agree
that would prevent the notifications from covering anything in OpenShift
but that's not true for everything. Also the menu items we have in the top
right are not primary items, which I believe is true for most of our
products.

Anyway - I agree with Leslie we should stick to what our recommendation is
for the design. If a developer wanted to put it top left and had a good
design reason, would they be able to? Or would we have to code in something
to allow that?
