contrib: remove "thunderbird-patch-inline"

The "thunderbird-patch-inline" directory in "contrib/" contains a script
to send patch files via Thunderbird. This script depends on the
ExternalEditor extension [1], which seems to be effectively unmaintained
with the last update being in 2008. While the extension has eventually
been maintained in [2], that fork hasn't received any updates since
2020, either.

As such, the ExternalEditor extension does not work with modern versions
of Thunderbird anymore, and as the "thunderbird-patch-inline" script
depends on the ExternalEditor extension it likely doesn't work anymore,
either. The fact that this script hasn't been touched for the last 10
years outside of some global cleanup supports the idea that it is not
useful anymore.

Remove it.

-appp.sh is a script that is supposed to be used together with ExternalEditor
-for Mozilla Thunderbird. It will let you include patches inline in e-mails
-in an easy way.
-
-Usage:
-- Generate the patch with git format-patch.
-- Start writing a new e-mail in Thunderbird.
-- Press the external editor button (or Ctrl-E) to run appp.sh
-- Select the previously generated patch file.
-- Finish editing the e-mail.
-
-Any text that is entered into the message editor before appp.sh is called
-will be moved to the section between the --- and the diffstat.
-
-All S-O-B:s and Cc:s in the patch will be added to the CC list.
-
-To set it up, just install External Editor and tell it to use appp.sh as the
-editor.
-
-Zenity is a required dependency.
