etc/dovecot/local.conf: Fix passdb block syntax for Dovecot 2.4.x compatibility.

Dovecot 2.4.x introduced a breaking change to the passdb/userdb
configuration block syntax. A prior commit 63523d4c partially adapted
etc/dovecot/local.conf to Dovecot 2.4.x by splitting mail_location
into mail_driver, mail_path, and mail_inbox_path, but did not update
the passdb block, leaving the configuration broken.

This causes Dovecot to fail immediately at startup with:
  - doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/local.conf line 10: passdb { }
  - dovecot.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=89/n/a
