Description

See https://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg71116.html

Put an interface in front of LocalResources

We need functional mailboxes email addresses to be considered as "local
addresses" by the mailet processing.

LocalResources

is the class called by the mailets / matchers to have a notin of "Is this local".

Thus to address the above points, we need to overload it in order to add
to it the notion of "functional mailboxes" in our code base.

Rename |LocalResources| into |LocalResourcesImpl| and put it behind an
interface. This would empower overloading.

Have an interface for MailboxAppender in james-server-mailets

We would like to be able to decorate "LocalDelivery" mailet in order to
add to it the notion of functional mailboxes.

MailboxAppender

is the class actually putting the message in ones mailbox.

However, today, the MailboxAppender is a concrete class. Hard to overload...

We would put MailboxAppender behind an interface and have a

MailboxAppenderImpl.
