[Bug 1759158] [NEW] Improve Thunderbird notifications for Gnome Shell

[Eugene Romanenko]

Public bug reported:

As Gnome Shell notification subsystem have more features than
notifications in Unity, integration needs to be improved.

Currently, in artful and bionic, Thunderbird notifications have two
issues:

1. On lock screen, Thunderbird always show "1 new notification" even
multiple mails arrived while screen locked.

2. Thunderbird should withdrawal notifications, if message was viewed
and marked as read on another device (for IMAP only).
