We need to copy the preferences from Gmail Manager into an extensions space for Gmail Manager NG. The copying code needs to be commented to explain what is being done so we don't get flagged in review. See: https://forums.mozilla.org/addons/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4707

Startup for prefs: Check to see if Gmail Manager NG has preferences set. If not see if there are any Gmail Manager preferences and migrate them (comment code to reason why we are reading another add-ons preferences!). If still no preferences, create the default set.

All points that read and write preferences should use the new preference set.
