1985881 - [ews] Handle filtering cases during biff

Handle notifications in the filtering cases, as tested in comm/mail/test/browser/notification/browser_collection.js. As part of this, enable the EWS subtests in that test file.

The other protocols apply filtering during biff prior to creating a database entry. EWS applies filtering after creating a database entry, which means that notifications will occur for messages that would otherwise be filtered into a folder for which notifications are disabled.

After discussing this, we determined that the simplest approach for now is to query whether a filter would be applied at notification time and then suppress the notification if the filtering will result in something happening that would result in no notification.
