feat(compose): lay the composer out by scope
Items 142, 143, 144 and 145, to the layout the user described. The composer had one addToolBar carrying three scopes at once: text formatting, message composition, and the terminal action. It read as a menu bar that is not one. There is now no window toolbar at all. From: [.............] +--------+ To: [.........] [v Cc/Bcc] | Send | Subject: [...........................] + [B][I][</>][S][link]["] [Attach] [Send as HTML] +---------------------------------------------+ | message text | +---------------------------------------------+ [Remove] * report.pdf <- only when attached Send is a large icon-above-text button beside the headers: it is the terminal action and carries the weight to match. Formatting is a toolbar widget in the central column directly above the text it formats, icon-only with the words kept as tooltips, which is where a tooltip stops being decoration. Attach and the HTML toggle ride the right end of that bar, past a stretch, because neither formats text. Remove attachment sits with the list it acts on and appears only once something is attached. "Also send a formatted copy" becomes "Send as HTML": the old label described a mechanism without naming it, leaving the reader to infer that "formatted" meant HTML and that "copy" meant a MIME part rather than a second message. Cc and Bcc hide behind a disclosure beside To:. revealCcBccIfUsed() only ever shows, never hides, so nothing but the user's own click can make a field holding an address invisible: a hidden recipient is a message going somewhere the sender cannot see, which is worse than the clutter this removes. The label is hidden with each field, since a QFormLayout holds the two as separate items and hiding the line edit alone strands a "Cc:" over empty space. Two send-lock faults, one predicted and one not. The backlog warned that setInputsEnabled() disabled the single toolbar wholesale, so the send-path test was strengthened to name every control BEFORE the split; it then caught Attach live during a countdown, where a file appended after MessageBuilder has run is either dropped or added to bytes already sent, silently either way. With every control named it failed again on format_bold: disabling a QToolBar greys its buttons but leaves each QAction enabled, so Ctrl+B during a send would have edited a message already being built, through a button that looked unavailable. setInputsEnabled() now walks the bar's actions too. The Italian translation is refreshed; lrelease reports 477 finished, 0 unfinished.

### Changed
+- "Also send a formatted copy" is now "Send as HTML", which says what it
+ does. It moved from a checkbox above the editor to the right end of the
+ formatting bar.
- The main toolbar keeps the actions that need no particular message
(Compose, Sync, Archive, Delete, Mark all read, Undo). Reply moves to the
new message-pane bar, where Forward joins it.
