Rewards notification (Community Copies)

Hello, 

TL;DR - the feature request is to have an optional checkmark option when adding a "Reward" to a game page that would have itch notify you when that reward ran out.

Longer explanation: in the TableTop RolePlaying Game (TTRPG) scene there's a common practice of adding a number of "Community Copies" to a game you're selling, for folks who can't afford the game (Explanation). We currently use the Rewards system to do that. It would be great if there was a special feature for community copies! However, that's a big ask. In lieu of that, there are a couple of features that could be added to Rewards that would help out TTRPG designers a bunch. The main one is a checkmark box that could be selected when creating a new Reward  which would have itch notify you when you run out of that Reward, so developers can restock it if they like. If there could be a dropdown menu with options for notification on redemption of one reward OR when they run out, that'd be even better.

It seems like this feature would also be useful for folks using rewards the "intended" way because they'd be able to keep track of when their rewards run out. 

Thanks for considering!
