lib: support splitting mail from database location.
Introduce a new configuration value for the mail root, and use it to locate mail messages in preference to the database.path (which previously implied the mail messages were also in this location. Initially only a subset of the CLI is tested in a split configuration. Further changes will be needed for the remainder of the CLI to work in split configurations.
