smtpsrv: Disable TLS session tickets to work around Microsoft problems

Microsoft SMTP servers have a bug that prevents them from successfully
establishing a TLS connection against modern Go TLS servers, and some
OpenSSL versions. It also doesn't fall back to plain-text, so this has
been causing deliverablity issues.

The problem started by the end of 2024 and it's still not fixed.

Unfortunately, because they're quite a big provider and are not fixing
their problem, it is worth to do a server-side workaround.

This patch implements that workaround: it disables TLS session tickets.

There is no security impact for doing so, and there is a small
performance penalty which is likely to be insignificant for chasquid's
main use cases.

This workaround should be removed once Microsoft fixes their problem.

We are going to make a 1.15.1 release for this, which this patch also
documents.

Thanks to Michael (l6d-dev@github) for reporting this issue and
suggesting this workaround!
