 Let's make admin notices dismissable.

 Focus is activated. Some notices, such as the upgrade network notice, do
 not fade away when Focused. Focus must reserve space for the notices so
 that they can be winked back in when unfocused. I’ve long wanted
 dismissable admin notices. Accommodating Focus seems like a good
 motivation to finally make notices dismissable. After saving a draft,
 being stuck with a padded header while Focused is annoying. Being able to
 click to dismiss notices would workaround this (rewriting the url to get
 rid of the message query arg would also be nice) .

Comment (by iseulde):

 I agree. I even think that messages such as "post saved" should disappear
 after a certain time, but that may be be a bigger step. Would it be okay
 if the whole screen moves up when dismissing a message? We talked about
 this earlier in #29386, though that's about automatic removal. Still, for
 the same reason it's really difficult to add any additional messages with
 JS at a later point. The whole screen would move down while you may be
 typing. It might be better to have have floating messages in a corner.
 Going off topic now, should probably be discussed in a new ticket. :)
