[jest-cli] Please update node-notifier to fix memory leak

Bug

What is the current behavior?
When running tests with --notify, in some situations there's a memory leak in the terminal-notifier process which eats up all of the computer RAM.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and
either a repl.it demo through https://repl.it/languages/jest or a minimal
repository on GitHub that we can yarn install and yarn test.
This has been reported in:
#2999

I've started experiencing the issue with my team recently, after upgrading to Jest v22.x.x (not sure if it's related, and probably doesn't matter now).

What is the expected behavior?
Looks like the issue has been fixed in latest node-notifier:
mikaelbr/node-notifier#183

So, if we bump node-notifier, the issue should go away.

Please provide your exact Jest configuration and mention your Jest, node,
yarn/npm version and operating system.
I couldn't pin down exactly in what scenario it happens, #2999 has a repro though.

Mac OS X 10.12.6
Jest v22.1.2
Node v9.3.0

Mind sending a PR? 🙂

We are within semver range (fix is apparently in 5.2.1), so not sure we need to do anything? https://github.com/facebook/jest/blob/139f976b67f40b286a73860c1f59def712ec323d/packages/jest-cli/package.json#L32

Doesn't hurt to update, of course.

Ahm, did a PR (should I update CHANGELOG.md under msater?).

Indeed it's in semver range, after removing node_modules and yarn.lock and running yarn it did install node-notifier@5.2.1.

But for most people it will not update and already installed node-notifier, perhaps we should still make the change. The RAM eat up is quite severe.
