[Dovecot] upgrade convert omissions

It did not convert over some things:

protocol imap {
       listen = *:143
       mail_plugins = quota imap_quota
       imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle
       ssl_listen = *:993
}


protocol pop3 {
       pop3_uidl_format = %f
       mail_plugins = quota
       pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh
}


protocol lda {
       mail_plugins = quota cmusieve
       quota_full_tempfail = no
       log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliver.log
       deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: from=%f: %$
       auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
}

I ended up with

service imap-login {
 inet_listener imap {
   address = *
   port = 143
 }
 inet_listener imaps {
   address = *
   port = 993
 }
 process_limit = 1024
 service_count = 1
}
service imap {
 process_limit = 1024
}
service pop3-login {
 process_limit = 1024
 service_count = 1
}
service pop3 {
 process_limit = 1024
}

It looks like service-foobar is replacing stuff inside protocol {} but
protocol still exists in examples, kind of confusing.

Oh what about service-pop3, different than examples and service-imap,
where's pop3s ? I guess I'll just copy the service pop3 section from
an example file.
Does all this mean the protocol section is not needed? or everything
inside of them I had is no longer valid? No LDA specific logging
converted, it did not include the quota stuff in where it is needed
(mail_plugins went MIA), but did inside converted plugin
section.

I did note the conversion warned that workarounds = outlook-idle is no
longer needed, but nothing about the other stuff.

Just concerns me if it ignored some needed stuff, what else did it ignore.

stay with 1.2)
