Dovecot 2.3.13 source rpm build fails on Centos 8

[steve at keptprivate.com]

Hi Alessio,

Thanks. I had made an edit to fix the SPEC file myself as well and
was able to build the rpm. At that point though, I ran into a second problem.
When it is installed and you try to start it, it fails reporting that it
can't find libdovecot.so (which I checked, and it there).

It seems like some untested changes have crept into the source rpm build.
