Repo-copy mozilla-thunderbird to thunderbird to be consistent not only with
the Mozilla.org naming convention, but also with our own.  We do not need
the mozilla- prefix since there are no other thunderbird ports in the tree.

Note: I am not updating to 0.5 at this time since the 0.5 source tarball was
released with all files in DOS text format, and even with the best conversion,
leaves the toolbars broken.  I have notified the Thunderbird authors, but
they have not re-rolled the distfile at this time.
