Phase 3 of the journaling spec.

Journal destinations: builtIn and/or archiveAddress. Archive reports are queued from the empty sender, one per address, never journaled themselves.
An undelivered report (refused, expired, deleted from the queue) becomes its own built-in entry under the sending journals' retention; archiveFailures on the journal counts it and the audit log records it. If that write fails the report stays queued.
Journal it rule action on mail flow rules and beside a DLP rule's block/warn/hold; a journal with no scope takes only what rules send it.
Report lists rule-added or redirected recipients as Added by rule.
Fix found on the way: a rule's route was never cleared between messages in one SMTP session.

Tests: journal_tests (extended), mail_rules_tests, compliance_tests, SMTP suite (78 passed), features/smtp unit tests, fork checks. Spec as-built notes updated. Stays out of production.

Phase 3 of the journaling spec.

- A journal's destination: builtIn (true for journals stored before) and
  archiveAddress, at least one. Reports to an archive are queued from the
  empty sender, one per address, flagged so they're never journaled.
- A pending record per report. When the queue lets go of one without
  delivering it (refused, expired, deleted), it becomes its own entry in
  the built-in journal under the sending journals' retention, the
  journal's archiveFailures (count, last time, reason) goes up, and the
  audit log records it; if that can't be written it stays queued.
- Journal it: a rule action naming a journal, on mail flow rules and
  beside a DLP rule's block, warn or hold. A journal whose scope chooses
  nobody takes only what rules send it.
- The report lists recipients a rule added or redirected to under
  "Added by rule", by rule name.
- A rule's route is cleared between messages in one SMTP session, with the
  new journal marks; a second message used to keep the first one's route.

tests/src/system/journal.rs: destination validation, a rule-only journal
fed by a rule that also adds a recipient, an unreachable archive's report
kept in the built-in journal with the failure counted, a report delivered
to an archive here and not journaled itself.
