[Dovecot] redirect IMAP --> IMAPS

This isn't http, there is no redirect command. Also the two protocols  
are completely different and non-compatable.

The normal option for this is to just require encryption, then if they  
use normal IMAP and attempt to do anything except secure it using TLS,  
the connection gets dropped.
