watcher: startup notification no longer says every endpoint works (closes #230)

The startup notification ended "All notification channels are working.",
but it is written once and handed to every notification endpoint before
any delivery has succeeded or failed, so the claim was never checked and
was false whenever one endpoint refused it. It now says only that it is a
test sent to every configured notification endpoint. The startup
notification test checks the whole message.
