Beta version 8.9.0

[jph-sendlater]

This version includes major progress towards full webextension compatibility. Much of the code still lives in privileged "experiment" contexts, but the blobs of legacy code are completely gone. All functionality is now segmented apart into webextension-style API's, and most of the logic specific to send later is contained in the sandbox background context.

Added features:

• "accelerator" keys can be used to alter the behavior of the composeAction toolbar button. If you hold Shift or Ctrl (cmd on MacOS) while clicking the "Send Later" toolbar button, then special functions will be executed rather than opening the scheduler dialog. These behaviors can be configured in the options dialog in the same way you configure shortcut keys.

Bug fixes:

• The status bar menu should always respect changes to the "Show Send Later in status bar" preference.
• Sorting draft messages by the "Send Later" column should work as expected now. The draft folder column should be generally much less finicky than it was before.

Note: This release touches a lot of code, so the potential for bugs is higher than usual. However, the changes are almost all related to UI components. Possible bugs will therefore be related to the overlay components: status bar menu, draft folder column, and the extended header display row. There is no added risk of core functionality breaking in any way.
