notify: a reply other than 2xx is a failed delivery (closes #287)

A notification endpoint that answered with a redirect was counted as
delivered: the request is not sent through a client, so the redirect
is never followed, and only a status of 400 or more counted as a
failure. Now any status outside 200-299 fails the delivery for ntfy,
Slack and Mattermost, so it is retried and logged like the others.
