Make the ARF reporting address a configurable option, but default it to a

Now it's not opt-in by the mailstore provider.
We need to have it self-configuring if the mailstore provides the service.
Which either means a standard role account for it, or, some way for the
mailstore to tell the UA what address to use.
If a fixed role account is impossible, consider that dhcp already includes
a standard way to distribute smtp, pop and imap host names, so adding the
ARF reporting address wouldn't be completely out of character for dhcp. I
don't know if any clients respect the dhcp MUA configuration data, though.
