1233014 - The "This is a minor update" checkbox is confusing and causes some UI weirdness

Bug 1062718 implemented the ability to declare a bug change as minor, restricting who get bugmails by default. But I see several problems with the checkbox:

- It says that no emails will be sent, which is not true. Users are still able to get bugmails if they want to.
- It appears in a weird place right below the bug summary, see the screenshot. Not being in the dark grey area make it look like independent of the "Save Changes" button.
- Its label is not clickable. You have to click the checkbox itself.
- If the bug is marked a a duplicate of another bug, the bug ID field wraps, which doesn't look good.

– The same checkbox is rendered twice (next to each commit button, which is good), but their state is not synchronized.
