dovecot - May 2018 - lazy_expuge + mdbox

To a degree I agree .. given mdbox doesnt delete until purge .. but then
would be nice if purge took a dovecot search rather than just ditch
everything with refcount=0 ... in that way could say purge everything
thats been marked as delete according to a specified criteria.

Another alternative is to use some other mdbox for the .EXPUNGED
namespace, so it will move it from one mdbox to another
