Ref T4324. Currently, notifications data is POSTed to the Aphlict server in the application/x-www-form-urlencoded format. This works fine for simple data but is problematic for nested data. For example:

array(
  'data' => array(
    'key'  => '6021329908492455737',
    'type' => 'PhabricatorNotificationAdHocFeedStory',
  ),
  'subscribers' => array(
    'PHID-USER-y7ofqm276ejs62yqghge',
  ),
);

Is encoded as data%5Bkey%5D=6021329908492455737&data%5Btype%5D=PhabricatorNotificationAdHocFeedStory&subscribers%5B0%5D=PHID-USER-y7ofqm276ejs62yqghge. This string is then (incorrectly) decoded by querystring.parse as:

> querystring.parse('data%5Bkey%5D=6021329908492455737&data%5Btype%5D=PhabricatorNotificationAdHocFeedStory&subscribers%5B0%5D=PHID-USER-y7ofqm276ejs62yqghge');
{ 'data[key]': '6021329908492455737',
  'data[type]': 'PhabricatorNotificationAdHocFeedStory',
  'subscribers[0]': 'PHID-USER-y7ofqm276ejs62yqghge' }

Sent test notifications from /notification/status/ and verified that the notifications still worked.
