Mail list: show who wrote, not everyone involved

The first column listed a thread's `participants`, which the threader builds from
from + to + cc — so every ordinary email read "Sender, You", and the +N badge
beside the avatar counted the user themselves.

`participants` cannot simply be narrowed: the subject-fallback join matches an
incoming message's recipients against it (threader._by_subject), so dropping
recipients would change how mail is threaded. Hence a separate `threads.senders`,
holding only from addresses, newest writer first — which is also the right thing
for a conversation where several people replied.

Migration 0019 backfills it, so existing threads do not wait to be touched again.
The list falls back to `participants` if a row somehow has no senders, rather
than rendering an empty column.
