HELO names per address

The name each sending address announces in the SMTP greeting.

In detail

Receivers compare the greeting name, the reverse DNS of the sending address and the forward record of that name; disagreement is a small but real reputation signal. This table is where the greeting side of that is set, per address. Hub already builds this correspondence for PowerMTA nodes, where the name is written into the configuration file. For MailerQ the same data goes here — the same problem, a different place.
