Inventory: Add exclamation mark in HUD to indicate updates #2737

Description

@manuq

In #2354 the inventory will be updated with hints for quests. We should let the player know when this information is updated. Proposal: do it with an exclamation mark in the HUD.

Example:

  1. StoryWeaver talks with Lore Elder
  2. Lore Elder gives the hint in dialogue "Please go to the Song Sanctuary and find the Musician. It's north-east of here."
  3. This line is added to the quest log in the inventory: "Find the Musician in the Song Sanctuary" (or even the one above, verbatim?)
  4. An (!) icon appears next to the HUD. A sound effect should be played as well.
  5. The player goes to check the inventory. Then goes back to the game.
  6. The (!) icon is dismissed.

Number 3 is out of scope (tracked in #2354). Number 4 and 6 should be implemented in this issue.
