Attachment: Bug 1882352 - Set the DICPATH environment variable. r?dandarnell

According to bz#1881830 the spellchecker.dictionary_path config
in distribution.ini has no effect and no spellcheckers other than
en-US show up. The same can be observed for Thunderbird flatpak and the
workaround listed in the above bug works for Thunderbird too.

So pass that environment variable in the flatpak
