Alberto Bertogli fa651e74e3 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.
