Yes, fixed that :)

I think %{gid} is used so rarely that it doesn't really need a short
variable. It probably would be better in future to avoid short variables
entirely in most places.

I also did larger changes to mail-storage-service.c so that in
situations when %var expansion is done while running as root, the
uid/gid expand properly instead of expanding to 0. This probably happens
with some doveadm -A commands or something..
