dmarc-ingest: Postfix can run the command, and it is told the recipient

The first DMARC report to reach the test server (Google, 2026-10-11
09:41 UTC) was accepted on port 25 and then sat in the queue:

  postfix/pipe: fatal: missing user= command-line attribute
  postfix/qmgr: warning: private/dmarc-ingest socket: malformed response

Three things stood between an accepted report and the panel, all since
the feature shipped in 1.7.0 - no report had ever been delivered:

- The service was addressed as dmarc-ingest/unix-pipe. Its type is unix:
  postconf -P answered "unmatched service_name/type" for flags=, user=
  and argv= (the warnings in the container log at every start), which
  are arguments of pipe(8) anyway and not -o parameters, and the service
  stayed a bare "pipe". For the same reason postconf -MX never removed
  it. It is dmarc-ingest/unix now, with the arguments in the service line.
- pipe(8) gives the command export_environment and nothing else, so the
  command would have refused to run: it reads DMARC_REPORTS_ENABLE (and
  the data directory, when it is not the default) from the environment.
  Those are now named in export_environment.
- The command took the recipient from RECIPIENT, which local(8) sets and
  pipe(8) does not. With no recipient the check that a report came to the
  address of its own domain is skipped. It is now ${recipient} in argv,
  one recipient per run.

When DMARC ingest is off the service and both parameters are removed.

e2e: every port-25 combination now asks Postfix for the service and the
two parameters (postconf -M / -h), and for their absence when ingest is
off - which is how the wrong type was found. make e2e on the test
server: ok. go test ./cmd/panel/ ./internal/dmarc/ ./internal/postfix/:
ok.
