- dovecot updated to 2.2.16
- auth: Don't crash if master user login is attempted without
  any configured master=yes passdbs

  UTF-8 text could have been truncated wrongly or the truncation may
  not have happened at all.
- fts-lucene: Lookups from virtual mailbox consisting of over 32
  physical mailboxes could have caused crashes.
