mix 41c3e6e896 Persist Postfix queue and ship self-contained full backups.
Move the mail queue under /data so recreate no longer drops deferred mail, and archive data/, compose, .env, and certs/ together for restore on a fresh host.

// Package backup implements SelfPost's full-server backup and the restore
// version guard (architecture.md § Persistence). A full backup is a
// gzip-compressed tar of the consolidated persistent state under /data — the
// SQLite database (as a consistent snapshot), the per-domain DKIM keys, the
// SASL database, and the Postfix queue — plus docker-compose.yml, .env, and
// certs/ from the operator's deploy directory, and a manifest recording the
// SelfPost version that produced it. Postfix delivery logs under log/ are
// excluded (diagnostics, not state).
//
// Restore is not a separate code path in the panel: a backup is extracted into
// the operator's project directory (data/, docker-compose.yml, .env, certs/)
// before first start. The archive carries everything needed to bring the
// instance back — DKIM keys, sasldb2, sender map, queue, and deploy files —
// so the operator only adjusts hostname or proxy settings on a new host. The
// restore-specific steps the panel runs are CheckRestore, which refuses to
// boot if the manifest's version does not match the running binary so
// schema/format skew between versions cannot silently corrupt state
// (architecture.md § Persistence), and a one-time Resync of OpenDKIM's tables
// and the Postfix sender map from SQLite on that first boot, so any drift
// between the archive and the database is healed before mail flows. If
// on-disk state drifts again later — for example after a manual edit under
// /data — the Status page's "Reload configuration" button runs the same
// Resync on demand.
