Dear maintainers,

The appt.el library can show a notification for upcoming appointments on
the mode line.  The face it uses is hardcoded to 'mode-line-emphasis'
which, by default, is a bold weight.

With the attached patch, we have a new face that the user/theme can set
to something easier to spot like bold+red.  Decoupling this indicator
from the generic 'mode-line-emphasis' allows us to add extra styling
only to the notification without affecting other parts of the mode line
that may be using 'mode-line-emphasis'.

What do you think?

All the best,
Protesilaos (or simply "Prot")
