v2.2.27 release candidate released

Most interestingly there's a new mail_crypt plugin. It would be nice if crypto gurus could check through it for any issues. Director's tagging fix was also quite a large change, but the new code is already used in production and appears to be working fine.

• dovecot.list.index.log rotation sizes/times were changed so that the .log file stays smaller and .log.2 is deleted sooner.

• Added mail_crypt plugin that allows encryption of stored emails. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/MailCrypt
• stats: Global stats can be sent to Carbon server by setting stats_carbon_server=ip:port
• imap/pop3 proxy: If passdb returns proxy_not_trusted, don't send ID/XCLIENT
• Added generic hash modifier for %variables: %{<hash algorithm>;rounds=<n>,truncate=<bits>,salt=s>:field} Hash algorithm is any of the supported ones, e.g. md5, sha1, sha256. Also "pkcs5" is supported using SHA256. For example: %{sha256:user} or %{md5;truncate=32:user}.
• Added support for SHA3-256 and SHA3-512 hashes.
• config: Support DNS wildcards in local_name, e.g. local_name *.example.com { .. } matches anything.example.com, but not multiple.anything.example.com.

• Fixed crash in auth process when auth-policy was configured and authentication was aborted/failed without a username set.
• director: If two users had different tags but the same hash, the users may have been redirected to the wrong tag's hosts.
• Index files may have been thought incorrectly lost, causing "Missing middle file seq=.." to be logged and index rebuild. This happened more easily with IMAP hibernation enabled.
• Various fixes to restoring state correctly in un-hibernation.
• dovecot.index files were commonly 4 bytes per email too large. This is because 3 bytes per email were being wasted that could have been used for IMAP keywords.
• Various fixes to handle dovecot.list.index corruption better.
• lib-fts: Fixed assert-crash in address tokenizer with specific input.
• Fixed assert-crash in HTML to text parsing with specific input (e.g. for FTS indexing or snippet generation)
• doveadm sync -1: Fixed handling mailbox GUID conflicts.
• sdbox, mdbox: Perform full index rebuild if corruption is detected inside lib-index, which runs index fsck.
