In the recent releases pagure grew the possibility to have 3rd party extensions
with their own URL endpoints and able to extend the current database model to
store extra information.

I've spent a little time using this feature to gain back support in pagure's UI
to toggle the monitoring status.

Here is a small demo of how it looks like:

Basically, there would now be a button on the sidebar which would show the
current monitoring status and would allow project admins and pagure wide admins
to update this setting.

Feedback most welcome :)

I'm going to clean up the code a little bit and open a PR on the pagure-dist-git
project, reviews and suggestions welcome there as well.
