Summary

Closes #9226

Thunderbird's built-in CardDAV address book cannot manage contact groups/lists. Document that limitation next to the recommended native setup and point users who need groups at the CardBook alternative already described on the same page.

Test plan

  • Docs build for user_manual/groupware/sync_thunderbird.rst
  • Note appears under Contacts / recommended method, before Calendars
