Change 'type' prop on badges to 'forceDot' (#12327)

* Change 'type' prop on badges tio 'forceDot'

Which, hopefully, better represents what it actually does. Tidies
up some of the logic.

Split out from #12254

* Missed a file

* More comments

* Oops, there is no count here.

* Back out the logic refactor of StatelessNotificationBadge

because it was also updating the logic for mark as unread badges and
rewriting the ternary to the previous logic would be quite complex.

* Fix doc comment

* Clarify doc on displaying the count

* Update doc for the forceDot param here too.
