change to UNIX hierarchy

[Patrick Goetz]

I changed to the (new defalt) UNIX hierarchy separator character while 
upgrading cyrus versions last year and didn't experience any problems. 
I don't think your authentication scheme is relevant, but as someone 
else suggested the imap clients might care.  In my case, everyone uses 
Thunderbird, roundcube, or the mail client on their iOS/android device 
and the switchover was transparent to the users.

I'm still have trouble adjusting to creating accounts with cyradm using 
user/username instead of user.username.  Last time I checked this wasn't 
documented; hope it is now.
