Feature: Show threads by ID

[bmulholland]

Code changes

We have a list of threads that we've assembled using our app's "secret sauce," and now want to show the user this curated lists of threads as kind of an automatically created folder. We don't want to create folders or labels for the user, because that gets into preferences of if (and how) they'd like their email data modified.

We also want to make the mailbox UI interactive, which is to say, we want the Nylas component to run HTTP requests. It should load the body of emails, contact data, and write data back, allowing for star/unstar etc. The only current way to display a specific set of threads in the Mailbox is to supply all_threads, but that requires optimistic loading of all data (very slow), and disables all the interactive parts of the component.

This change, previously discussed with Hazik Azfal, adds support for passing in a list of thread IDs, which fulfills all requirements. We're about to deploy the mailbox component to production with this modification (along with other changes in other PRs)
