1867860 - --migration is broken

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Magnus Melin [:mkmelin]]

Starting with --migration doesn't work.
It's broken by a couple of things. Fixing it so the migrator is actually found brings up an empty window, and that needs fixing for stuff broken by de-xbl a few years back. Even Thunderbird 91 is broken.

Migration - when it worked - could work silently or (normally) by showing an import wizard which would replace the profile with what was found to import. So it's kind of dangerous.
I think it would be better to instead open the import page. It's almost the same thing, just nicer looking and not risking data loss.

Removes the old migrator that - when it worked - would open an import wizard (which hasn't worked since tb91, since it would need to include customElements.js directly and it doesn't).
Instead, if starting with --migration, show the import tab. --migration is listed for all toolkit, so might as well make it do something useful.
The migration is now instead handled where Thunderbird normally handles command line arguments.
