deliver is the binary name. but it's configured inside protocol lda {}
section. This is getting annoying, any thoughts on what would be a good
unifying name?

a) deliver binary, protocol deliver {}

b) lda binary, protocol lda {}

c) dovecot-lda binary, protocol lda {}

d) mda binary, protocol mda {}

e) dovecot-mda binary, protocol mda {}

f) something else?

In any case protocol lda {} would work for a while longer for backwards
compatibility.

c) and e) choices also makes me think if e.g. imap and imap-login should
be called dovecot-imap and dovecot-imap-login instead. People have had
trouble finding them since ps|grep dovecot doesn't find them..
