[Dovecot] Feature request: dovecot -d option to output only/all 'defaults' of current version

It would be nice to be able to do 'dovecot -d' that outputs only/all of 
the 'default' values of the currently running version, regardless of 
what is explicitly set.

Postfix currently has this option, and it is very useful for one 
thing... to compare settings that have been explicitly set to what would 
be the default values.

I used this recently on a postfix install to remove a whole bunch of 
values that had been explicitly set, and therefore showed up when 
postconf -n command was issued - but that would have been the default 
values anyway had they not been explicitly set - thus providing a much 
cleaner postconf -n output.

Thanks Timo for dovecot!!
