Thunderbird 3.1

As the first concrete-step towards agility, 3.1 will be a short-cycle release (~4 months) based on 1.9.2. The intent of this release would be primarily:

• Update to a version of Gecko further from end-of-life than 1.9.1
• Land almost-finished work that got cut from 3.0
• Opportunistically take high-value changes that leverage the platform work we've done in Tb3

Note that the above specifically excludes taking large, disruptive changes during the 3.1 cycle.
