[Bug 1715214] [NEW] Adopt openSUSE patch that adds high-res icons for Thunderbird, so the Large Icons task switcher in KDE Plasma doesn't have an ugly Thunderbird icon

[Nate Graham]

Public bug reported:

Right now, Thunderbird in Ubuntu is packaged with a set of low-res
icons. Because of this, is you use KDE Plasma with the Large Icons alt-
tab task switcher, the Thunderbird icons look ugly:

openSUSE packagers patch in larger icons, and so in openSUSE, they look
sharp and crisp: https://i.imgur.com/Le8ZhWg.png

I have opened a ticket with Mozilla, but it has been ignored:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1371931

So until they fix it upstream, we may want to consider adopting the
openSUSE patch in Ubuntu:
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1057115

This way, KDE Plasma users will get nice Thunderbird icons in their
Large Icons alt-tab task switchers.
