updating sendgrid module based on code review by @abadger

    - Sends an email with a SendGrid account through their API, not through
      the SMTP service.
 notes:
+   - This module is non-idempotent because it sends an email through the
+     external API. It is idempotent only in the case that the module fails.
    - Like the other notification modules, this one requires an external
      dependency to work. In this case, you'll need an active SendGrid
      account.
