In the earlier commit, I added a Dovecot userdb lookup. Without a userdb lookup, Dovecot would use the password db for user lookups. With a userdb lookup we can support iterating over users.
But I forgot the WHERE clause in the query, resulting in every incoming message being accepted if the user database contained any users at all. Since the mailbox path template is the same for all users, mail was delivered correctly except that mail that should have been rejected was delivered too.
This is an extension of #427. Building on that change it adds support in the
aliases table for flagging aliases as:
1. Applicable to inbound and outbound mail.
2. Applicable to inbound mail only.
3. Applicable to outbound mail only.
4. Disabled.
The aliases UI is also updated to allow administrators to set the direction of
each alias.
Using this extra information, the sqlite queries executed by Postfix are
updated so only the relevant alias types are checked.
The goal and result of this change is that outbound-only catch-all aliases can
now be defined (in fact catch-all aliases of any type can be defined).
This allow us to continue supporting relaying as described at
https://mailinabox.email/advanced-configuration.html#relay
without requiring that administrators either create regular aliases for each
outbound *relay* address, or that they create a catch-all alias and then face a
flood of spam.
I have tested the code as it is in this commit and fixed every issue I found,
so in that regard the change is complete. However I see room for improvement
in terms of updating terminology to make the UI etc. easier to understand.
I'll make those changes as subsequent commits so that this tested checkpoint is
not lost, but also so they can be rejected independently of the actual change
if not wanted.
Aliases have precedence over mail users. A catch-all address would grab mail intended for a mail user and send it elsewhere. This adds some SQL hackery to create dummy aliases for all mail users.

As the scripts keep growing, it's time to split them up to
keep them understandable.
This splits mail.sh into mail-postfix.sh, mail-dovecot.sh,
and mail-users.sh, which has all of the user database-related
configurations shared by Dovecot and Postfix. Also from
spamassassin.sh the core sieve configuration is moved into
mail-dovecot.sh and the virtual transport setting is moved
into mail-postfix.sh.
Also revising one of the sed scripts in mail-dovecot to
not insert a new additional # at the start of a line each
time the script is run.
