Compose -> Select Addresses should remember user-selected Size & Position

Since for me and maybe many other users the default size is way too small, I
constantly find myself resizing the *Select Addresses* windows to make the long
list of addresses better fit.

It would be very useful if the window remembered the new size across sessions.

According to bug 89495 comment 36 the dialogue should be resizeable.

Marking NEW and CC'ing Shuehan (who coded the new dialogue).

To emphasize second part of the bug: Select Addresses dialog does not keep
changed location on the desktop.
Click on the title and drag SA from very right side to the middle of the
desktop. Close dialog. SA is located at the same default coordinate. ER: To keep
changes location in the previous session.

Also the dialog should have fixed minimum size, not allowing to make it too
small and not see buttons.

Note: this patch also fixes the JavaScript strict warning this dialog causes
and changes some tabs to space.

Strange, this looks too tall to me, although the sums add up...

Spaces around - would be nice.

Yes, this dialog is huge, but I don't wanted to change this without a good
reason. At least one can see a lot of addresses with this initial size.
