cyr_expire_expunge_mode: immediate

hmm - that looks viable to me!  Feel like testing it?  Basically it tells
cyr_expire that you have immediate expunge, so don't bother expunging, but
everything else will do delayed delete.

Don't come crying when your mailboxes melt under the load of huge spam
databases whenever you delete a message though... actually, it's not so
bad since cyrus_expunge doesn't get sorted every time, the records just
get appended.
