Ensure Action Mailbox processes an email only once when received multiple times

This also adds a new column, message_checksum, to the action_mailbox_inbound_emails table
for storing SHA1 digest of the email source. Additionally, it makes generating the missing
message id deterministic and adds a unique index on message_checksum and message_id to
detect duplicate emails.
