We should fall back to custom ad notifications when system notifications are disabled

Follow up to: brave/brave-variations#120

Should show custom ad notifications:
- For all Windows versions If native notifications are disabled (should not be shown if Focus Assist is enabled)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Disable native(system) notifications
  2. Run Brave with --enable-logging=stderr --vmodule="*/variations/*"=6,"*/bat-native-ledger/*"=6,"*/brave_rewards/*"=6,"*/bat-native-ads/*"=6,"*/bat-native-confirmations/*"=6,"*/brave_ads/*"=9,"*/brave_user_model/*"=6 --brave-ads-staging --brave-ads-debug --rewards=staging=true --variations-server-url=https://variations.bravesoftware.com/seed
  3. Restart Brave
  4. Make sure variations are downloaded in brave://version
  5. Enable rewards and ads
  6. Trigger an ad

Actual result:

Notification is not shown at all

Expected result:

Custom notification is shown

Reproduces how often:

We only move thecan_fallback_to_custom_notifications parameter from the CustomAdNotifications feature to the AdNotifications feature. I would recommend that we only need to test the can_fallback_to_custom_notifications parameter. There are no business logic changes
