feat: add quota-triggered per-user mailbox cleanup

Inflate the Dovecot-visible quota to 140% of the configured
max_mailbox_size so that Delta Chat clients (which warn at
80% of IMAP-reported quota) never show quota warnings.
A quota_warning at 72% of the inflated limit triggers
chatmail-quota-expire, which trims the mailbox to 80% of the
configured limit.  Existing over-quota mailboxes start
receiving mail again immediately after deploy
without any manual operator action needed.
