feat: add tool to analyze deferred queue

It prints all destinations with the number of recipients
and all the reasons. Operator can then try
to fix the problems for destinations,
e.g. by manually adding reverse proxy
addresses to /etc/hosts for failing domains
or routing IP addresses to another interface.

+Filtermail (used for delivery) requires a valid TLS.
 
 You can test it by resolving ``MX`` records of your relay domain and
 then connecting to MX relays (e.g ``mx.example.org``) with
