remail: Allow optional transport based security

Browse source 
Add an "encryption" option 'use_transport' which does not bother with
encryption and just relies on transport security.

For admins this makes sense as none of the admin messages is really
confidential.

This is also a valid option for a subscriber and makes some sense in
scenarios where the mail provider manages the subscriber key (sic!)
and does server side decryption. Think twice before using this.

Do not bother with encryption and send plain text messages, i.e. rely

This may also be a valid option for some subscribers, for example in
scenarios where the mail provider manages the subscriber key (sic!)

an inbox stored on the same infrastructure as remail itself.
Not recommended for most cases.
Optional, defaults to False. Note, this is mutually exclusive with
the 'use_smime' option.
