Bug 255954: mail/thunderbird: Fix compile error with clang/libc++ 12
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=255954



--- Description ---
During an exp-run for llvm 12 (see bug 255570), it turned out that
mail/thunderbird does not build with clang 12.0.0 [1]:

    : public exception
	     ^
1 error generated.

This is caused by thunderbird doing a lot of complex and fragile juggling with
system headers, and was reported upstream as
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1694575>, then fixed via
<https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/f875a4ffd653>.

The fix is the same as bug 255953 for www/firefox-esr.
