Adding recipient_canonical maps to Postfix
Continuation of Postfix redesign

It took frustratingly long to realize that the widely publicized home
for SASL (database in `/etc/sasldb2`, configurations in
`/etc/postfix/sasl`) are at least completely wrong for Alpine Linux, and
probably completely wrong for most distributions. (Everything is in
`/etc/sasl2`, in case you're wondering.)

Logging to stderr is added. One guess as to why I needed to add this.

I've also learned that while bracketing a hostname (i.e.
`smtp:[mail.realy.com]:25`) halts MX record lookups, it does *not* halt
A record lookups. To ensure accurate delivery of mail, Postfix
would much prefer to use public DNS over local name resolution. Luckily
I agree with this design; the opposite behavior only makes sense if a
server isn't delivering to the open internet at all. Precisely the
intended use of the `:tls-in` image. So, that image will no longer do DNS.
Postfix redesign

Now there are three images tags for `postfix`. `:latest` uses encryption
and authentication for inbound and outbound mail. It listens on posts 25
and 465. Because it authenticates, I dropped the requirement for
senders to have a LAN IP.

`:tls-in` drops outbound encryption and authentication. This is
generally going to be useful for receiving mail and handing it to a
local service.

`:tls-out` drops inbound encryption and authentication and listining on
port 465. This is useful for relaying mail off of a trusted host.

Adding a postfix server image.
