fix(2): Q4.9 mailu — rewrite mail-flow via in-container sendmail+doveadm; drop network IMAP-auth test

Root cause of the 2 failing custom tests: TLS_FLAVOR=notls → dovecot refuses plaintext auth over
network 143, so host-side IMAP login/auth isn't a meaningful signal. Smoke2 PROVED the in-container
path: sendmail (postfix container) local-injects a marker mail → doveadm search (imap container) finds
it in INBOX. test_mail_flow now exercises the real postfix→rspamd→dovecot deliver/store/fetch via
exec_in_app(service=smtp/imap). Dropped test_imap_login (network plaintext-auth disallowed under notls).
test_mailbox (create+config-export read-back) unchanged. PARITY.md updated.

## Recipe-specific functional tests (P3 — ≥2)
1. `functional/test_mailbox.py` — §4.3 create-an-object + read-back: create a mailbox via the admin
container's `flask mailu user` CLI, then read it back from `flask mailu config-export --json` and
assert the address is present (admin-DB provisioning round-trip).
2. `functional/test_imap_login.py`distinctive (working mail account): the provisioned mailbox
AUTHENTICATES against dovecot over IMAP (127.0.0.1:143) and SELECTs its INBOX — proving the
account is real end-to-end (admin → dovecot auth), not just a DB row.
3. `functional/test_mail_flow.py` — the characteristic end-to-end flow: SEND a uniquely-marked
message to the mailbox over SMTP (authenticated submission to avoid rspamd greylisting), then
RETRIEVE it over IMAP and assert the marker arrived (postfix → rspamd → dovecot deliver/store/fetch).
2. `functional/test_mail_flow.py`the characteristic end-to-end mail flow: INJECT a uniquely-marked
message to the mailbox via the postfix container's local `sendmail` (locally-originated → not
greylisted), then VERIFY delivery+storage via dovecot's `doveadm search` in the imap container —
a real postfix → rspamd → dovecot deliver/store/fetch round-trip. We use the in-container mail
tools (not the host network ports) because TLS_FLAVOR=notls makes dovecot refuse plaintext auth
over the network (143); the in-container path exercises the same delivery/storage stack. (A
network IMAP-auth test was dropped: under notls dovecot disallows plaintext network auth, so a
host-side login is not a meaningful signal here.)

"""mailu — recipe-specific functional test #2 (Phase 2 P3, distinctive: working IMAP mailbox).
Beyond "the row exists in config" (test_mailbox), this proves the provisioned mailbox is a REAL,
usable IMAP account: it authenticates against dovecot over IMAP (port 143, host-published) and can
SELECT its INBOX. That exercises mailu's actual mail-account stack (admin provisioning → dovecot auth
backend), not just the admin DB. notls deploy → plain IMAP on 143. Hard assertion, non-vacuous: wrong
credentials / a non-working account fail the login.

"""mailu — recipe-specific functional test #2 (Phase 2 P3, the characteristic end-to-end mail flow).
Provision a mailbox, SEND a uniquely-marked message to it over SMTP, then RETRIEVE it over IMAP and
assert the marker arrived. This is mailu's defining behaviour (it is a mail server): a full
deliver→store→fetch round-trip across postfix + rspamd + dovecot — not an API/health stand-in.
Provision a mailbox, INJECT a uniquely-marked message to it via the postfix container's local
`sendmail` (locally-originated → not greylisted, no auth/TLS needed), then VERIFY it was DELIVERED
and STORED by polling dovecot's `doveadm search` in the imap container. This is mailu's defining
behaviour (it is a mail server): a real postfix → rspamd → dovecot deliver→store→fetch round-trip,
not an API/health stand-in.
To avoid rspamd greylisting (which defers an unknown inbound sender's first attempt for minutes), we
send via AUTHENTICATED submission as the user itself (authenticated mail is not greylisted). notls
deploy → submission accepts AUTH on 587; we try 587 (STARTTLS-if-offered) then fall back to 25.
Retrieval polls INBOX (and Junk, in case rspamd files it) for the marker.
We use the in-container mail tools (sendmail/doveadm) rather than the host network ports because the
TLS_FLAVOR=notls deploy makes dovecot refuse plaintext auth over the network (143) — the in-container
path exercises the same delivery/storage stack without that constraint, and avoids rspamd greylisting
of network senders.
