[Bug 1585726] [NEW] TB 38 is EOL, please update to TB 45

[jimav]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 16.04 comes with Thunderbird 38.x, which apparently is no longer
supported by Mozilla.  In reply to a bug report, they said

   "Can you please upgrade to TB 45. TB 38 has come to the end of its
life-cycle."

I don't know if that is authoritative, but if TB 38 is really EOL then
the current Ubuntu should probably ship with a newer version.

Thanks.
