Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1550

💡 Idea
Add a debounce mechanism to prevent flooding messages.
Introduce two new parameters:

debounce_key: this will be used to group messages that should be debounced
debounce_interval: a period (like the current delay parameter)

Every message with the same debounce_key will be dropped if another message was successfully sent (not drropped) in the debounce_interval interval.

Hello, I'd like to implement this issue, if that is ok.
I would maybe just hash the message-content with a quick hash-alg and use that, instead of manually providing the debounce-key. That should be sufficient to detect duplicates, unless there's another good reason for a manual debounce-key
