thunderbird: Add gpg/gpgme dependencies. Fixes #98765.

nh2 · nh2 · commit 276793618070 · 2020-12-18T00:36:55.000+01:00
This enables to configure Thunderbird to use gnupg directly, which is the
official upstream recommendation when using GPG with smartcards, which are not
yet supported by Thunderbird's native GPG support.
