`New Contact` and `New List` disappeared from address book context menu on Contacts Side Bar

... which is a pretty bad usability regression. Essentially, it means you can no longer create a full contact (or list) on the fly whilst in composition, but you'll be forced to fire up your entire Address Book for that purpose. Which is very inconvenient, because otherwise Contacts Side Bar makes for a perfect miniature version of the AB.

Thanks to Richard (:paenglab) for alerting us to this issue.
I'm not sure if the old strings are still around, so this may require new strings.

**Implementation caveat**

Fixing this regression requires showing the new `Edit contact` form somehow in the composition window. Imo, just having a big popup which would be populated with the edit form would make for a good UX, similar to the TB 91 UX. The advantage is that we won't completely hide the composition context in the background, which would be a bit confusing.
