Drop most of the existing certificate handling, because we're effectively
duplicating functionality that NixOS offers for free with better
design, testing and maintainance than what we could provide downstream.
The remaining two options are to reference an
existing `security.acme.certs` configuration through
`mailserver.x509.useACMEHost` or to provide existing key material via
`mailserver.x509.certificateFile` and `mailserver.x509.privateKeyFile`.
Support for automatic creation of self-signed certificates has been
removed, because it is undesirable in public mail setups.
The updated setup guide now displays the recommended configuration that
relies on the NixOS ACME module, but requires further customization to
select a suitable challenge.

In nixpkgs we expose `services.dovecot.hasNewUnitName` option that can be
safely inspected to understand that whether to use the `dovecot` systemd
service name instead of `dovecot2`.
Per the dovecot documentation[0] we were previously running with an
unsupported home directory configuration, because we shared them among
all virtual users at /var/vmail.
After resolving this by creating per user home directories at
/var/vmail/%{domain}/%{user} this now also overlaps with the location of
the Maildir, which is not recommended.
As a result we now need to migrate our Maildirs into
/var/vmail/%{domain}/%{user}/mail, for which a small shell script is
provided as part of this change.
The script is included in the documentation because we cannot provide it
in time for users, because they might already be seeing the relevant
assertion and there is no safe waiting period that would allow us to skip
shipping it like that.

Enabling the rspamd debug log drowns out everything else and should be
selected explicitly as needed.
The external test does not require it and removing it makes it much
(~40.5%) faster, since it now does not block on terminal output anymore.
Before:
```
Benchmark 1: nix build .#hydraJobs.x86_64-linux.external-unstable --rebuild
Time (mean ± σ): 151.737 s ± 1.074 s [User: 0.310 s, System: 0.289 s]
Range (min … max): 150.321 s … 153.512 s 10 runs
```
After:
```
Benchmark 1: nix build .#hydraJobs.x86_64-linux.external-unstable --rebuild
Time (mean ± σ): 90.531 s ± 0.557 s [User: 0.054 s, System: 0.045 s]
Range (min … max): 89.579 s … 91.278 s 10 runs
```
This switches the full-text search plugin from fts-xapian to
fts-flatcurve, the now preferred indexer still powered by Xapian,
which will be integrated into Dovecot core 2.4.
This sets a sane minimal configuration for the plugin with
international language support.
The plugin options marked as "advanced" in Dovecot's documentation
aren't re-exposed for simplicity. They can nevertheless be overridden
by module consumers by directly setting keys with
`services.dovecot2.pluginSettings.fts_*`.
The `fullTextSearch.maintenance` option is removed as the index is now
incrementally optimised in the background.

All ciphers in TLSv1.2/TLSv1.3 are considered secure, so we can allow the
client to choose the most performant cipher according to their hardware
and software configuration.
This is in line with general recommendations, e.g. by Mozilla[1].

fts xapian does not publish configuration changes in a changelog. As a
result, some options that nixos mailserver was setting for it have been
ignored for several years. New options (process_limit) are now
recommended. This adapts the module to these changes.
The default value of partial= is 2, but fts_xapian 1.8.3 now requires it
to be at least 3, and fails loudly in case it is 2. As a result, this
change is required to support fts_xapian 1.8.3 and later.
This allows overwriting the default values for user_attrs to be empty
which is required when using virtual mailboxes with ldap accounts
that have posixAccount attributes set. When user_attrs is empty string
those are ignored then.
Without using umask there's a small time window where paths are world
readable. That is a bad idea to do for secret files (e.g. the dovecot
code path).
Allow configuring lookups for users and their mail addresses from an
LDAP directory. The LDAP username will be used as an accountname as
opposed to the email address used as the `loginName` for declarative
accounts. Mailbox for LDAP users will be stored below
`/var/vmail/ldap/<account>`.
Configuring domains is out of scope, since domains require further
configuration within the NixOS mailserver construct to set up all
related services accordingly.
Aliases can already be configured using `mailserver.forwards` but could
be supported using LDAP at a later point.
`sieve-test` can be used to test sieve scripts.
It's annoying to nix-shell it in, because it reads the dovecot global
config and might stumble over incompatible .so files (as has happened
to me).
Simply providing it in $PATH is easier.
The current configuration doesn't work when moving spam from the INBOX
to Junk on a local maildir and then syncing the result to the IMAP
server with `mbsync(1)`. This is because `mbsync(1)` doesn't support a
mvoe-detection[1] (i.e. an IMAP MOVE which subsequently causes a Sieve
COPY according to RFC6851 which then triggers report{h,sp}am.sieve), but
instead sends `APPEND` (and removes the message in the src mailbox after
that).
Tested on my own mailserver that this fixes spam learning.
This doesn't work the other way round though because `APPEND` doesn't
have an origin. However, learning mails as spam happens more often than
learning spam as ham, so this is IMHO still useful.

Previously, the static Junk mailbox was used in sieve script to move
spam messages. This patch gets the Junk mailbox defined in the dovecot
mailboxes attribute instead.
