Auto-connecting the system-files interface for the thunderbird snap

The request is similar to https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/auto-connecting-the-system-files-interface-for-the-firefox-snap but for thunderbird

Thunderbird allows sysadmins to define enterprise policies to customize the browsing experience. These policies are stored in /etc/thunderbird/policies/ on the host filesystem, which is typically not readable by a strictly confined snap.

A plug is going to be added to thunderbird

plugs:
  etc-thunderbird-policies:
    interface: system-files
    read: [/etc/thunderbird/policies]

This is a request for the corresponding store declaration to auto-connect the interface.

Thanks for considering it!

+1 for use of system-files with the ‘etc-thunderbird-policies’ interface reference for read access to /etc/thunderbird/policies.

+1 from me too for auto-connect of system-files named etc-thunderbird-policies for read access to /etc/thunderbird/polices - this is clearly owned by thunderbird.

+1 from me as well for auto-connecting system-files with read access to /etc/thunderbird/policies using the interface reference etc-thunderbird-policies since thunderbird is the clear owner of such directory. +3 votes for, 0 votes against. Granting the requested auto-connection. This is now live.
