[Pymilter] Splitting milter into pymilter and bmsmilter

[Stuart D. Gathman]

I have checked support for smfi_chgfrom and smfi_addrcpt_par into CVS.
This requires sendmail-8.14, of course.

8.14 also provides xxmi_negotiate, which would be useful for the following:

In reading the new APIs for sendmail-8.14, there is now an xxfi_negotiate()
callback.  This callback is made at the start of each connection,
and with it you may opt out of any protocol steps, thus reducing
the context switching as you desired.  There is probably a way for
python to figure out which callbacks are overridden, and automatically
negotiate only the needed protocol steps.  I haven't done this yet.
