Render every outgoing e-mail from an editable text template

The wording of the dunning and SEPA pre-notification mails was hard-coded in
Python, so adjusting a single sentence required a new release. Both texts now
live in plain text templates that ship as defaults, are copied into the store's
templates/mail/ directory on first start and can be edited there or under
Optionen -> E-Mail-Vorlagen; an existing file is never overwritten and a deleted
one is restored from the shipped default.

A template carries its subject in the first line and the body after a blank
line. Placeholders use the same {{ ... }} syntax as the document templates and
share their member/organization values, so a name means the same thing in a
letter and in the mail that carries it. Unknown placeholders are rejected while
editing instead of during a send run, a line holding nothing but placeholders
that render empty is dropped, and {{#claims}} ... {{/claims}} repeats per entry.

## Mail templates
Every e-mail CCMA sends -- the welcome mail with its first invoice, dunning mails
and SEPA pre-notifications -- is rendered from a plain text template. The shipped
defaults are copied into the store's `templates/mail/` directory on first start
and can be edited there or under Optionen -> E-Mail-Vorlagen. An existing file is
never overwritten; a deleted one is restored from the shipped default.
A template holds the subject in its first line and the message body after a blank
line:
```
Betreff: {{reminder.name}} {{claim.title}}
Hallo {{member.first_name}},
...
```
Placeholders use the same `{{ ... }}` syntax as the document templates. Which ones
are available depends on the mail; the options dialog lists them per template and
rejects unknown ones when saving. A line that contains nothing but placeholders
which render empty (an optional hint, an empty list) is dropped, and
`{{#claims}} ... {{/claims}}` repeats its content once per claim.
