b8dc6ad120 smtp: Validate mail transaction and disable SMTP analyzer if excessive
An invalid mail transaction is determined as

* RCPT TO command without a preceding MAIL FROM
* a DATA command without a preceding RCPT TO

and logged as a weird.

The testing pcap for invalid mail transactions was produced with a Python
script against a local exim4 configured to accept more errors and unknown
commands than 3 by default:

    # exim4.conf.template
    smtp_max_synprot_errors = 100
    smtp_max_unknown_commands = 100
