Description:
Thunderbird requires `libnotify` to send native notifications (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Thunderbird#Native_notifications). Shouldn't it be an optional dependency as Firefox has? If it's not installed, when running Thunderbird under Wayland in Sway, for example, notifications appear tiled instead of floating (like when running under XWayland or on an X11 WM). For me it was necessary to install `libnotify` to allow Thunderbird use the `mako` notification daemon. Additional info: * thunderbird 68.10.0-1 * sway 1:1.4-9 * libnotify 0.7.9-1 Steps to reproduce: * Install `sway`, `mako` and `firefox`. * Run Thunderbird using MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 environment variable. * Receive a notification in Thunderbird. * Install `libnotify` and receive notifications to see that is using native notifications. |

I forgot that notifications on Wayland without native support not
only show tiled, but also show in two windows: one for the
notification and another empty window.

firefox already has that optdepends. This makes sense to add here
too.
