PSA: dovecot 2.4.2 is now in [extra].

While the dovecot 2.3 branch is officially EOL, it is supposed to
receive critical security fixes as per [1]:

Since the 2.4 branch no longer supports replication, there is a
feature disparity and keeping the 2.3 version around until it is
no longer maintained seems to be reasonable.

So for those having 2.4-incompatible setups, e.g. using replication,
or who are unable to perform the 2.4 migration right now, there are
alternatives available in [extra] now:
  - dovecot23
  - pigeonhole23
  - dovecot23-fts-elastic
  - dovecot23-fts-xapian
