      Description

      I have detected that the most typical problem for site administrators when enabling notifications is that they are not aware that they have to enable the "Mobile notifications" message output plugin after getting the key.

      Most of them think that getting the key is enough and it will be automatically enabled.

      In order to solve this problem, we should provide some clues to our admin users when they obtained a Push notifications key pointing there to the last step of the process.

      So, basically, in message/output/airnotifier/requestaccesskey.php, after successfully retrieving a key for the site, we should check if the plugin is enabled or not and in case is not, display a nice message with a link to the page to enable the "Mobile notifications" plugin.
