Death by a thousand config items

[Wesley Craig]

I agree, and I think that would make a good reason to release  
something called "2.4" -- it will break a bunch of stuff.  With that  
in mind, I'm about to propose another pair of config options.  These  
will control whether sieve should be compatible with draft 8 or 9 in  
terms of response to AUTHENTICATE & STARTTLS.  This will go right  
along with the sieve utf-7/-8 change, I suppose.
