Thunderbird needs to display additional licenses in about:license

I suggest to add placeholders that an app can replace.

I'd like to make use of this in bug 1519804.

Blocks: 1519804

While I don't object to this in principle, I would like to see some additional information clarifying that these added licenses are product-specific to non-Firefox apps, and not part of the main corpus of Firefox licenses. Can we add some additional text (and maybe a code comment, if not something more enforceable?) clarifying that?

How about this?

In addition to the comments, it includes a fixed header text that talks about product specific licenses, and requires the definition of a product name.

Further improvement (and a syntax fix).

This patch enforces that all three variables are declared.

This will require uplift to Thunderbird's release branch of mozilla-esr68.
