docs: process: email-client: add Thunderbird "Toggle Line Wrap" extension

Browse source

While reading the git-format-patch manpages [1], I discovered the existence
of the "Toggle Line Wrap" extension for Thunderbird which I found rather
convenient.

Looking at the history, the ancestor of this extension was added to the
documentation in commit e0e34e977a ("Documentation/email-clients.txt:
update Thunderbird docs with wordwrap plugin") but then removed in commit
f9a0974d3f ("Documentation: update thunderbird email client settings").

Extend the paragraph on Thunderbird's mailnews.wraplength register to
mention the existence of the "Toggle Line Wrap" extension. The goal is not
to create a war on what is the best option so make it clear that this is
just an alternative.
