dovecot: security backports, new versioning scheme

- Fix dovecot package download URLs for new
  [release](https://github.com/chatmail/dovecot/releases/tag/upstream%2F2.3.21%2Bdfsg1-3%2Bchatmail2)
  with
    - debian-security backport for 12 CVEs
    - distro-specific suffix (+deb{release}u1), enabling a simplified
      primary URL path and combined github releases
- Use VERSION_ID from os-release as deb_release instead of codename
  mapping, reorder hash-dict to match Github release page
- Remove redundant parsing/validation, let function validate against hash dict
- Update test expectations and test new versioning derivation

+Configurable System Limits
+--------------------------
+
+Limits for auto-rejecting address creation
+..........................................
+
+A relay refuses creation of new addresses
+when the machine runs low on resources,
+but existing addresses keep working.
+
+Three ``chatmail.ini`` settings control this,
+shown here with their defaults::
+
+    max_load_1m = 5
+    min_available_memory = 200M
+    min_free_disk_space = 1G
+
+- ``max_load_1m`` is the maximum 1-minute load average,
+  as reported by ``uptime``;
+  it counts processes waiting for disk I/O as well as for CPU.
+  It is deliberately not scaled by the number of CPUs
+  because I/O rather than CPU is what typically limits a relay.
+
+- ``min_available_memory`` is the minimum memory available without swapping.
+
+- ``min_free_disk_space`` is the minimum free disk space
+  on the file system holding the mailboxes.
+
+The defaults suit the small machine described in
+`Minimal requirements and prerequisites`_.
+
+.. note::
+
+   If you run a bigger machine,
+   raise ``max_load_1m`` after watching ``uptime`` under typical load.
+
+Rejections are logged by the ``doveauth`` service,
+so you can check whether a limit is set too tightly::
+
+    journalctl -u doveauth --grep 'registration rejected'
+
+If ``mtail_address`` is set, rejections are also counted
+in the ``rejected_registrations`` metric.
+
+
+Overall IMAP and SMTP connection limits
+.......................................
+
+Two further settings bound how many connections
+the relay accepts at all, again shown with their defaults::
+
+    max_imap_connections = 10000
+    max_smtp_connections = 1000
+
+``max_imap_connections`` becomes the Dovecot imap process limit,
+and ``max_smtp_connections`` the Postfix process limit
+on each of the submission and smtps ports.
+A single client IP may use up to a fifth of ``max_smtp_connections``.
+Each connection costs memory,
+so these limits defend the relay against running out of RAM.
+
+Unless ``imap_compress`` is enabled,
+an IMAP connection that is idle for ``imap_hibernate_timeout``
+is handed over to the ``imap-hibernate`` process
+and does not count towards ``max_imap_connections``,
+which is why a relay can serve far more IMAP clients
+than this setting suggests.
+
+If you run a large relay with 10k or 100k's of addresses,
+check current connection counts before upgrading
+and set the limits accordingly.
+
+To see how close a running relay is to these two limits,
+copy ``scripts/check-connections.sh`` from the relay repository
+onto the relay and run it there::
+
+    imap             5  ports 143,993   (max_imap_connections)
+                     5  dovecot sessions, 0 of them in an active imap process
+    submission       0  ports 465,587   (max_smtp_connections per port)
+    incoming         0  port 25         (from other relays, no chatmail.ini limit)
+
+It counts established sockets with ``ss``
+and cross-checks the IMAP number against ``doveadm who``.

+Hosting without DNS records
+===========================
+
+.. note::
+
+   This option is experimental and might change without notice.
+
+In case you don't have a domain,
+for example in a local network,
+you can run a chatmail relay with only an IPv4 address as well.
+
+To deploy a relay without a domain,
+run ``cmdeploy init`` with only the IPv4 address
+during the :ref:`installation steps <setup>`,
+for example ``cmdeploy init 13.12.23.42``.
+
+Drawbacks
+---------
+
+- your transport encryption will only use self-signed TLS certificates,
+  which are vulnerable against MITM attacks.
+  the chatmail core's end-to-end encryption should suffice in most scenarios though.
+
+- your messages will not be DKIM-signed;
+  experimentally, most chatmail relays accept non-DKIM-signed messages from IP-only relays,
+  but some relays might not accept messages from yours.
+
+
+Email addresses
+---------------
+
+When running without a domain,
+your chatmail addresses will use the IPv4 address
+in brackets as the domain part,
+for example ``user@[13.12.23.42]``.
+This is a valid email address format
+according to :rfc:`5321`.

+App version information (experimental)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A chatmail relay ships the
+:repofile:`appversions.json <chatmaild/src/chatmaild/defaults/appversions.json>`
+file of the ``chatmaild`` package
+and serves its content under the IMAP METADATA key
+``/shared/vendor/deltachat/appversions``.
+Chat apps installed outside of app stores read this key
+to learn about updates and where to download them.
+The mechanism is experimental and may change.
+
+The file travels with the normal deploy:
+update the repository checkout and run ``cmdeploy run``.
+Local modifications of ``appversions.json`` are deployed as-is,
+so you can serve your own app version information,
+including links to app downloads.
+There is no automatic refresh:
+version information changes only when you deploy again.
+
+.. note::
+
+   Note that as of August 2026, only Delta Chat Android Google Play version
+   is beginning to support discovering app versions from relays.
+   Generally, consumers of relay-provided app version information
+   need to verify themselves that downloaded app files are valid.
