Set global address book DSN.

conf.pl -> 9. Database -> 8. DSN for Global Address Book

enable writing into global address book. If you have more than one
writable address book backend, address book form displays selection box.
You need SquirrelMail 1.4.5 or 1.4.4+patch.

writing control options are listed next to other address book
configuration options.
