Support additional Slack notification types: pipeline kickoff, completion, and upcoming scheduled workflows

Today, CircleCI Slack notifications only fire on workflow completed. For teams running long-running or scheduled pipelines, that leaves a lot of gaps in visibility.
We'd love to see support for the following notification types:
- Workflow kickoff— notify when a pipeline starts, so teams know a build is in progress. Especially useful for long-running pipelines where silence can be ambiguous.
- Upcoming scheduled workflows— notify ahead of a scheduled workflow run as a heads-up that automation is about to trigger.
Each of these should be individually toggleable so teams can subscribe to only what's relevant for them.
Who this helps:
Teams running nightly builds, release pipelines, or any workflow where knowing when something starts
or is about to run
matters as much as whether it passed or failed.
