Revising nsIChannel to allow for overlapped i/o. This consists of three parts:
1. Factoring nsIChannel into a protocol specific part, the nsIChannel, and a socket specific, the nsITransport.
2. Derive the nsIChannel from a nsIRequest.
2. Changes the notification system from necko and the URILoader to pass the nsIRequest interface instead of nsIChannel interface.
This goal stems from wanting to be able to have active AsyncRead and AsyncWrite operations on nsSocketTransport.
This is desired because it would greatly simplify the task of maintaining persistent/reusable socket connections
for FTP, HTTP, and Imap (and potentially other protocols). The problem with the existing nsIChannel interface is
that it does not allow one to selectively suspend just one of the read or write operations while keeping the other active.

make it so you can view "threads with unread". (#52927)
threaded and unread are no longer mutually exclusive.
later, I'll add "unread threaded" which is no the
same thing as "thread with unread".
fix the nsMsgMessageDataSource() to ask the view, thread or msg database for existance of messages, instead of getting an enumerator for all messages, and seeing if it is non empty. more performance work on the way.
move enums from MailNewsTypes.h to MailNewsTypes2.idl, so that I can use the same ones from JS and C++.

1) add ui and backend support for "log into this account at startup". all that is missing is the code to actually do the logging in at startup. that comes next.
2) hide the user name for news servers in the account manager.
3) fix ui to allow users to edit the username and hostname for a server, but disable it until the back end can handle a live swap of those values.
