use xdg-email to send itp mail

[pravi]

Currently we have to manually copy paste the contents of package_itp.mail to email program. We can use xdg-open command to open default email program so one more step can be automated. We can do this after the build is completed.

xdg-email [--utf8] [--cc address] [--bcc address] [--subject text] [--body text
] [--attach file] [ mailto-uri | address(es) ]

It will help people who are running npm2deb directly on bare metal like me or in a VM. So we should make it optional and enable only when DISPLAY variable is set. In containers DISPLAY variable will be set and we can disable it.

something like:

xdg-email --subject "ITP: node-make-iterator -- FIX_ME write the Debian package description" \
  --body "$(cat /tmp/node-make-iterator_itp.mail)" [email protected]

but xdg-email silently ignores extra headers so I can't pass X-Debbugs-CC

for thunderbird users, versions > 1:52.5.0-1 it's easy to turn on support for the X-Debbugs-CC custom header:

• https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=379304
• https://salsa.debian.org/mozilla-team/thunderbird/commit/5d564397839d819af79d1c7547a4ee14031e777e?view=parallel

I tried this (note that you need to give it the full path to the message body):

thunderbird -compose "to='[email protected]',subject='ITP: node-make-iterator -- FIX_ME write the Debian package description',X-Debbugs-CC='[email protected]',message=/tmp/node-make-iterator/node-make-iterator_itp.mail"

but it still ignores the X-Debbugs-CC custom header
