Turn Turnsole into a generic mail client

[Vivien Didelot]

Hi William,

I'm not suggesting to make Heliotrope supports several clients (what it
already does via  provinding JSON),
I'm suggesting the make the Turnsole interface modulable to several mail
sources.
And its default and official one will be the Heliotrope client for sure.

I hope it is clearer.
