don't put unsent messages in the "sent" folder

[Danielle Foré]

If a message fails to sent (msmtp not found, timeout, etc) it should stay in the outbox and not go into the sent folder.

This patch makes the composer store messages in the Queue folder first, and the DBus service is expected to move it once it is done. However, it isn't stable and seems to crash in the IO channel callback. Additional eyes would be helpful to find the cause.

I have started to wrap the process launching in a small class, so it becomes stateful and captures error output. And I'm adding a Sent signal to the service so we can asynchronously wait for however long needed.

I pushed the mentioned refactoring, the composer shows a progressbar now while waiting for a message to be sent or an error message if needed. Receiving is prepared for error message display.
