Enabling Master User for migration

[Dominik Breu]

Hello Charles,

the bare minimum ist just the first passdb entry
auth_master_user_separator = *
 passdb {
   driver = passwd-file
   args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers
   master = yes
   pass = yes
}

this will do the trick.

greetings 
dominik
