dovecot: Retry auto-detect until we find a usable socket pair

Currently, chasquid attempts to auto-detect dovecot sockets when
starting up (if needed). If autodetection fails, chasquid emits an
error, continues serving, and never tries again.

This can be problematic if chasquid starts up before dovecot, and at the
time the dovecot sockets are not present (e.g. after a reboot). In that
case, chasquid will not use dovecot for authentication even after
dovecot has started.

This patch changes the autodetect logic, by doing autodetection at
startup and on each request, until we find a working pair of sockets.
Once we do, they're used consistently.

That way, if dovecot is not ready when chasquid starts, it's not a
problem and chasquid will start using dovecot once it becomes available.

Thanks to Thor77 (thor77@thor77.org) for reporting and helping
troubleshoot this issue.

## Dovecot auth occasionally not functional after a reboot (0.04 to 1.6)
After a reboot, if chasquid starts *before* dovecot, it's possible that
chasquid fails to autodetect the dovecot addresses, and the dovecot
authentication will not be functional until chasquid is restarted.
This condition can be identified by seeing
`Dovecot autodetection failed, no dovecot fallback` in the chasquid logs, at
start-up time.
As a workaround, you can create the following systemd dropin file at
`/etc/systemd/system/chasquid.service.d/after-dovecot.conf`, to make chasquid
be started *after* dovecot:
```
[Unit]
After=dovecot.service
```
The issue is fixed in 1.7.
