[pve-devel] [PATCH proxmox-mail-forward 1/1] install to /usr/libexec instead of /usr/bin

/usr/libexec is intended for binaries which are not intended to be
called by users manually. proxmox-mail-forwarded is only ever supposed
to be called by Postfix via the forwarding mechanism in /root/.forward,
so the binary should be located in /usr/libexec.
The postinst script will automatically migrate the contents of
/root/.forward if needed.
