chore: allow app store distribution through an AGPL additional permission

Browse Source 
App store terms put limits on recipients, such as device caps and DRM,
that section 10 of the AGPL does not allow, so a Bulwark app built from
this code could not be shipped through the Apple App Store or Google
Play without breaking the licence. The mobile app reuses the webmail
locale catalogs and several ported modules, so the permission is needed
here as well as in the native repository.

Add a section 7 additional permission that allows app store
distribution as long as the source of every shipped version is public,
free, linked from the listing or the app, and not further restricted.
The README licence line and CONTRIBUTING.md now say that contributions
come under the same terms.

Additional permission under GNU AGPL version 3 section 7
The copyright holders of this Program give you additional permission to
convey a covered work (this Program, a modified version of it, or a work
that contains parts of it) through an app store, even though the app
store's terms of service, usage rules or technical measures place
restrictions on recipients that section 10 of this License would otherwise
not allow, such as a limit on the number of devices a copy may be installed
on, or digital rights management applied to the copy.
This permission applies only if you:
a) make the Corresponding Source of each version you convey through the
app store available, at no charge and under the terms of this
License, from a network server that anyone can access;
b) state, in the app store listing or inside the application, where
that Corresponding Source can be obtained; and
c) do not impose any further restrictions of your own on the exercise
of the rights granted under this License.
"App store" means a digital distribution service for applications that is
operated by a third party, such as the Apple App Store and TestFlight,
Google Play, the Microsoft Store, the Samsung Galaxy Store or the Huawei
AppGallery.
This permission covers only the parts of a covered work that its copyright
holders license under this License; it does not extend to parts licensed
under other terms. As section 7 of this License allows, you may remove this
permission from copies you convey and from your modified versions.
