Warning that PostGuard will have full, unrestricted access to your computer

When installing the AddOn I'm warned that PostGuard needs "full, unrestricted access to Thunderbird and your computer". Which obviously sounds scary.

Accoding to Thunderbird documentation this is fixable by upgrading to a more modern extension API.

We are currently waiting for some features to land before it is possible to perform encryption without experiments.

These features include:

Adding UI elements to the UI (outside the e-mail), e..g, the bar we currently have.
Persistent e-mail storage on disk, see my latest comment in #5 .
