Description
As mentioned in #808, staff would like to be able to resend messages to students who missed the search criteria when the mail was originally sent, but now qualify.
We can calculate how many students were missed by diff'ing the to list from a sent mail and the current results from the same search query. We will use that diff as the to list for a new mail. In all other regards, the new mail will behave like any other new mail, using the same UI, API and models.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing sent-mail flow through its UI, API, and models, and review the context in #808. Done means staff can select a sent message, calculate the difference between its original recipients and current search results, and send that difference as a new message using the existing new-mail behavior.
