We've accumulated a few linter issues around comments and a couple of
variable names.
While none of them is major, this patch cleans them up so it's easier to
go through the linter output, and we can start being more strict about
it.
This patch implements support for catch-all aliases, where users can add
a `*: destination` alias. Mails sent to unknown users (or other aliases)
will not be rejected, but sent to the indicated destination instead.
Please see https://github.com/albertito/chasquid/issues/23 and
https://github.com/albertito/chasquid/pull/24 for more discussion and
background.
Thanks to Alex Ellwein (aellwein@github) for the alternative patch and
help with testing; and to ThinkChaos (ThinkChaos@github) for help with

This patch skips the resolution logic if the address is not local.
Today, the resolution logic handles that case transparently, and returns
the original email address, so this should be a no-op.
However, having an explicit early check makes the resolution logic more
robust, and will simplify future patches.
Note this also means that the `alias-resolve` hook is no longer run for
non-local aliases, which should also help simplify their implementation.
The right-hand side addresses of an alias should be normalized, to
maintain the internal invariant that we always deal with normalized
addresses.
Otherwise, strange situations may arise, such as the same domain having
two different domaininfo structures depending on case.
It's more convenient and in line with standard practice to fail RCPT TO if the
user does not exist.
This involves making the server and client aware of aliases, but it doesn't
end up being very convoluted, and simplifies other code.
aliases databases can be very useful, so this patch adds a package to parse
and resolve aliases.
It uses an existing, well known and widely used format for aliases, although
it doesn't necessarily match 100% any existing implementation at the moment.
