With more than one account signed in (#49), mail arriving in one that
isn't in front went unseen until someone switched to it (multi-account
spec, MA-8).

GET /api/auth/accounts/unread answers the Inbox unread count of each
account not in front, asked through that account's own session (its
OAuth token renewed first if due), kept a minute per account.
The web app asks every two minutes while another account is signed
in. The account menu shows each one's count beside its name, and the
avatar carries a dot when any of them has unread mail.
When a count rises while the app is open and desktop notifications
are on, a notification names the account ("New mail for
[email protected]"); clicking it switches to that account. An
account seen for the first time doesn't notify: its mail was already
there.

Not in this change: notifications with the app closed, which need each
added account's own Web Push subscription.

New strings (3, English only in the other ten catalogs): "New mail for
{name}", "Unread in the Inbox: {count}", "Account: new mail in another
account". Tests: the server answers the other account's count and
nothing when alone; the client keeps the counts, notifies only on a
rise and only with notifications on. Checked in Chrome against the
mock. typecheck, tests (web 1541, server 277) and build pass.
