Setting the location of proc independent of configdir

[Vincent Fox]

I've been running this in production:

mkdir /var/imap-proc
chown cyrusd /var/imap-proc
ln -s /var/imap-proc /var/cyrus/imap/proc

Setup vfstab entry for /var/imap-proc as TMPFS , and
that's about all there is to it.  But yeah it would be an
improvement to see it configurable.
