Hi All

As in commit "Update alertify alerts to use the styling defined in
the style guide":

https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=pgadmin4.git;a=commitdiff
;h=2a30a86e7d5e562040500f448fbb0d143ff2cff9

https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=pgadmin4.git;a=commitdiff
;h=f2d2075d81718ec02550fb592851aa330d327b24

We have introduce new wrapper class "AlertifyWrapper" and replace calls to
alertify.success and alertify.error with following two lines in most of the
files

var alertifyWrapper = new AlertifyWrapper();

alertifyWrapper.success(message); or alertifyWrapper.error(message);

For each call we are creating dynamic object of AlertifyWrapper and call
the appropriate function. For example there are 20 such calls in a single js
file every time are are creating object and call appropriate function.

I have tried to improve the logic here and implemented it as below:

- Extend alertify and move success, error and info functions from "
alertify_wrapper.js" file to "alertify.pgadmin.defaults.js", there will
be no use of "alertify_wrapper.js"
- Modify only "server.js" as POC, remove 'alertify' and replace
'sources/alerts/alertify_wrapper' with 'pgadmin.alertifyjs' which is
nothing but mapping of "alertify.pgadmin.defaults.js" from defines and
named the reference object to 'alertify' so no need to change any function
call like "alertify.success, alertify.error".

One more benefit of the above approach is if in future we want to use the
same style for alertify.warning, alertify.info, alertify.message etc.., we
will just have to extend that method in "alertify.pgadmin.defaults.js" and
no need to change the rest of the function call with AlertifyWrapper.

Attached is the POC patch, if it looks good then I'll start working on
replacing AlertifyWrapper with the above mentioned approach.
