holger krekel 2d0fc2e70e feat: move doveauth from dictproxy to lua/http
1. existing logins are now verified by lua only

2. non-existing logins are delegated to the new Python doveauth http /create endpoint

Using Lua and http this way makes doveauth more compatible to dovecot 2.4

"""Create chatmail addresses on first login.
Dovecot only asks us about addresses it does not already find in the mailbox:
the auth.lua we deploy with dovecot (cmdeploy/src/cmdeploy/dovecot/auth.lua.j2)
verifies existing users itself against a mailbox password file,
and HTTP-POSTs everything else to the /create endpoint implemented in this module.

Addresses are ASCII: dovecot refuses any login name outside its
auth_username_chars before auth.lua ever sees it.
Dovecot hands auth.lua the exact password bytes the client sent;
decoding and re-encoding UTF-8 is byte-identical,
so dovecot's password_verify later recomputes the same hash crypt() stores here.
