Simplify the code path for updating the node details for a bookmark.

Right now we're doing something like this:
  1. observe to the bookmarks-service in nsNavHistoryResult
  2. observe to nsNavHistoryResult from nsNavHistoryFolderResultNode
  3. nsNavHistoryResult's onItemChange calls nsNavHistoryFolderResultNode's
     onItemChange.
  4. nsNavHistoryFolderResultNode's onItemChange looks for the result node
     in its children and updates it.

This is very complex and probably doesn't work at all for bookmark-queries.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
