jcoffey-dev 1170130dc9 Fix shell injection in the Zimbra backup and restore scripts
Both scripts built a command string by interpolating user input into
bash -c:

    sudo -u zimbra bash -c "... -m '$EMAIL' ..."

The single quotes inside the double-quoted string are not protection --
the outer shell expands $EMAIL first. An address of

    x' ; id ; echo '

closes the quote and runs arbitrary commands. Both scripts require root
and invoke this through sudo -u zimbra, so injected commands execute as
the account that owns the entire mail store. Verified against the exact
quoting pattern before and after the change.

Fixed by single-quoting the script body so nothing is interpolated, and
passing values as positional arguments. The bash -c wrapper is kept
deliberately rather than calling zmmailbox directly, since it may depend
on shell setup and this could not be tested against a live Zimbra.

Two related holes in the same input paths:

- $EMAIL is also part of the backup filename, so a "/" wrote outside
  $BACKUP_DIR. Now validated as a plain address.
- The restore prompt took a filename and concatenated it into a path, so
  "../../etc/shadow" escaped $BACKUP_DIR. Now rejects anything
  containing a separator.

Also switched the backup listing from `ls | grep "$EMAIL"` to a find
with grep -F: unquoted the address was treated as a regex, so "." in it
matched any character.
