<UserStory> NOT006: Configure Notifications </UserStory>
<Changes>
1. Added notification subscription configuration in CustomerMenu to allow customers to enable or disable notifications for Payment Management Service and Service Management Service.
2. Updated Controller::configureNotifications() to attach or detach the authenticated user from service observers based on selected notification preferences.
3. Refactored Observer interface and User notification handling to support notification delivery through observer subscriptions.
4. Implemented observer attach, detach, and sendNotification logic in InventoryManagementService, PaymentManagementService, and ServiceManagementService to ensure notifications are sent only to subscribed users.
</Changes>
