cmdeploy: prepare chatmaild/cmdeploy changes for Docker support

- chatmaild:
  - basedeploy.py: Add has_systemd() guard. During Docker image builds
    there's no running systemd, so deployers that query SystemdEnabled
    facts would crash; this change might also be helpful for non-systemd
    platforms.
- cmdeploy:
  - cmdeploy.py:
    - when deploying to @docker, auto-set CHATMAIL_NOPORTCHECK and
      CHATMAIL_NOSYSCTL since neither makes sense inside a container
    - --config default now reads CHATMAIL_INI env var, so Docker
      entrypoints can point to a mounted ini without CLI flags.
  - deployers.py:
    - skip port check / CHATMAIL_NOPORTCHECK
    - skip echobot systemd cleanup w/ has_systemd
  - dovecot/deployer.py:
    - Guard sysctl writes behind CHATMAIL_NOSYSCTL
    - invert dovecot install check so it works without systemd
  - sshexec.py: Add __call__ to LocalExec so cmdeploy status works with
    @local target. Without it, cmdeploy status tried to call the
    executor directly and got TypeError.

Consolidated from j4n/docker branch commits (selection):
- 8953fde feat(cmdeploy): read CHATMAIL_INI env var for default --config path
- 81d7782 fix(cmdeploy): add __call__ to LocalExec so status works with @local
- 8bba78e docker: disable port check if docker is running. fix #694
- 865b514 docker: replace config flags with env vars, drop docker param (instead of f26cb08)
