use editconf.py to mangle /etc/postfix/master.cf

* using it to enable the Postfix submission service
* per @mkropat's suggestion in #69, set an option to distinguish submission from regular smpd in syslog by giving submission a new name (doing this here to test that editconf is working right on master.cf)
