Attachment: Bug 1898854 - Add messages.listInlineTextParts() to get a flat list of inline text parts. r=mkmelin

This adds a method to extract a flat list of inline text parts found
in a message. These parts and their content can already be accessed
through messages.getFull(), but in order to find these parts, detailed
knowledge regarding the structure of MIME messages is needed.

This helper function allows listing all inline text parts, just as
messages.listAttachments() allows listing all attachments.

Note: The messages API considers everything which is not an inline text
part, to be an attachment. The new function is therefore the
counterpart of messages.listAttachments().
