pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
While we already had some test we might as well add the test for that
exact package to the tests attribute set. After all that should be what
(primarily) tests dovecot.
This fixes CVE_2020-24386, CVE-2020-25725 and a bunch of regular bugs
[1].
* CVE-2020-24386: Specially crafted command can cause IMAP hibernate to
allow logged in user to access other people's emails and filesystem
information.
* CVE-2020-25275: Mail delivery / parsing crashed when the 10 000th MIME part was
message/rfc822 (or if parent was multipart/digest). This happened
due to earlier MIME parsing changes for CVE-2020-12100.

Update to latest version & updated the patch file to match with the
lastest verison.
Fixes the following security issue:
* CVE-2019-19722: Mails with group addresses in From or To fields
caused crash in push notification drivers.
Rationale
---------
Currently, tests are hard to discover. For instance, someone updating
`dovecot` might not notice that the interaction of `dovecot` with
`opensmtpd` is handled in the `opensmtpd.nix` test.
And even for someone updating `opensmtpd`, it requires manual work to go
check in `nixos/tests` whether there is actually a test, especially
given not so many packages in `nixpkgs` have tests and this is thus most
of the time useless.
Finally, for the reviewer, it is much easier to check that the “Tested
via one or more NixOS test(s)” has been checked if the file modified
already includes the list of relevant tests.
Implementation
--------------
Currently, this commit only adds the metadata in the package. Each
element of the `meta.tests` attribute is a derivation that, when it
builds successfully, means the test has passed (ie. following the same
convention as NixOS tests).
Future Work
-----------
In the future, the tools could be made aware of this `meta.tests`
attribute, and for instance a `--with-tests` could be added to
`nix-build` so that it also builds all the tests. Or a `--without-tests`
to build without all the tests. @Profpatsch described in his NixCon talk
such systems.
Another thing that would help in the future would be the possibility to
reasonably easily have cross-derivation nix tests without the whole
NixOS VM stack. @7c6f434c already proposed such a system.
This RFC currently handles none of these concerns. Only the addition of
`meta.tests` as metadata to be used by maintainers to remember to run
relevant tests.
Dovecot has its own SASL implementation,
but needs Cyrus SASL's headers to bind to an LDAP server using SASL.
This is useful to avoid the need to manage a dnpass= in dovecot-ldap.conf
by using the Unix socket to authenticate.
This is done with sasl_mech=EXTERNAL in dovecot-ldap.conf, and some olcAccess: with
by dn="gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth" read
in the slapd's cn=config for the LDAP database queried by dovecot/auth (which runs as root).
Since years I'm not maintaining anything of the list below other
than some updates when I needed them for some reason. Other people
is doing that maintenance on my behalf so I better take me out but
for very few packages. Finally!
* treewide: http -> https sources
This updates the source urls of all top-level packages from http to
https where possible.
* buildtorrent: fix url and tab -> spaces

This update was made based on information from https://repology.org/metapackage/dovecot/versions.
These checks were done:
- built on NixOS
- ran `/nix/store/c20ip7wyymd39l7zisx38ky3bxp1sybv-dovecot-2.3.1/bin/dovecot --help` got 0 exit code
- ran `/nix/store/c20ip7wyymd39l7zisx38ky3bxp1sybv-dovecot-2.3.1/bin/dovecot --version` and found version 2.3.1
- found 2.3.1 with grep in /nix/store/c20ip7wyymd39l7zisx38ky3bxp1sybv-dovecot-2.3.1
