Add support for fast searching via Solr

This installs and configures Solr running under Tomcat, and configures
Dovecot to use the dovecot-solr plugin for all search and indexing.

This dramatically improves search performance on large mailboxes.

# IMAP search with lucene via solr
# --------------------------------
#
# By default dovecot uses its own Squat search index that has awful performance
# on large mailboxes. Dovecot 2.1+ has support for using Lucene internally but
# this didn't make it into the Ubuntu packages, so we use Solr instead to run
# Lucene for us.
#
# Solr runs as a tomcat process. The dovecot solr plugin talks to solr via its
# HTTP interface, causing mail to be indexed when searches occur, and getting
# results back.
source setup/functions.sh # load our functions
source /etc/mailinabox.conf # load global vars
# Install packages and basic configuation
# ---------------------------------------
# Install packages
apt_install solr-tomcat dovecot-solr
# Solr requires a schema to tell it how to index data, this is provided by dovecot
