Leon Schuermann 622c7c2204 Support customized maildir type and location per virtual user
This adds the option to add a customized userdb_mail parameter to the
Dovecot userdb, overriding the global mail_location setting. This
change applies to both mail delivery (handled via LMTP from postfix to
Dovecot), as well as Maildir access via IMAP etc. Furthermore, the UID
and GID can be customized to reflect the desired permissions. Finally,
the Dovecot virtual user home, holding the user's private state, can
be set.

These changes allow for great flexibility in the mail server
setup. For instance, users can selectively have their mail accessible
through a Maildir in their home directory, or via a purely virtual
user maintained under /var/vmail.
