Attachment: Bug 1896522 - Deprecate composeScripts API and messageDisplayScripts API in Manifest V3 and introduce scripting.compose API and scripting.messageDisplay API. r=#thunderbird-reviewers

Thunderbird has two special content script types (one for the editor of
the compose window and the other for messages being displayed) for which
we have the dedicated composeScripts API and messageDisplayScripts API.

Manifest V3 moved content script related methods into the scripting API
and applied the following changes:

• no longer allows to use code strings as content scripts
• dropped its child implementation
• has a dedicated unregister function (the register function no longer
  returns an object with an unregister() method)
• has a getRegisterdScripts() function

To adjust to these changes, we deprecate both our current content script
APIs and add new ones to the scripting API.

This patch only updates existing tests to work with the new
implementation. A follow-up will add tests for the new features of the
added APIs

Depends on D210103
