Though many Linux distros choose to pass _/usr/lib_ as the libexecdir while configuring dovecot, such as [Debian](https://sources.debian.org/src/dovecot/1%3A2.3.20%2Bdfsg1-1/debian/rules/#L132) and [Arch](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/dovecot/-/blob/main/PKGBUILD#L76), others like Alpine Linux and Gentoo don't pass anything as libexecdir, allowing it to default to _/usr/libexec_.
Both appear to be valid. From [FHS 3.0, Chapter 4.7](https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch04s07.html):
> Some previous versions of this document did not support _/usr/libexec_, despite it being standard practice in a number of environments. To accomodate this restriction, it became common practice to use _/usr/lib_ instead. Either practice is now acceptable, but each application must choose one way or the other to organize itself.
Allow for the default libexec subdir _/usr/libexec/dovecot_ as well as the more common
_/usr/lib/dovecot_.

(cherry picked from commit 941118c699)
37ffc6ea profiles: allow for the default dovecot libexecdir
Tag profiles and abstractions with abi information.
Tagging abstractions is not strictly necessary but allows the parser
to detect when their is a mismatch and that policy will need an
update for abi.
We do not currently tag the tunables because variable declarations
are not currently affected by abi.

Add several permissions to the dovecot profiles that are needed on ubuntu
(surprisingly not on openSUSE, maybe it depends on the dovecot config?)
As discussed some weeks ago, the added permissions use only /run/
instead of /{var/,}run/ (which is hopefully superfluous nowadays).

This commit adds a dovecot-common abstraction, as well as adjusting
the profiles for dovecot's helper binaries to make use of it. The
important addition is the ability for the dovecot master process to
send signals to the helpers.
