A template can hold To, Cc and Bcc (Settings > Templates). Inserting it adds them beside anyone already on the message, never twice, opening the Cc/Bcc rows it uses; placeholders see the template's recipients; Save as template keeps the message's recipients.

Same change as ihasmail's, reported in coffey-labs/ihasmail#58.

New strings: 5, in all ten catalogs (1725/1725). typecheck, 1572 tests, build pass.

A template saved a subject and a body, so a message sent to the same
people every time (an invoice, a weekly report) had to be addressed by
hand each time.

A template can now hold To, Cc and Bcc as well:

- Settings > Templates has the three fields, with the composer's own
  suggestions, and each template's card lists who it adds;
- inserting it adds them to the message beside anyone already there; an
  address already on the message, in any field, isn't added twice, and
  the Cc and Bcc rows open when the template uses them;
- {{recipientName}} and the other placeholders see the template's own
  recipients, so "Dear {{recipientFirstName}}" names the person it's for;
- "Save as template" in the composer keeps the message's recipients.

Templates saved before this have none and insert exactly as they did.

New strings: 5 ("To (optional)", "Cc (optional)", "Bcc (optional)",
"Adds: {recipients}" and the field hint), in all ten catalogs.
