Merge changes from 0-0-5-patches branch.

Original commit message:
Modules:
      Fix a bug where socket errors from smtplib would crash the
      server.  (If your smtp server was down, it would take mixminion
      with it.)
 
ClientMain, ServerInfo, test, Modules:
      Make "From" address support optional.
 
      [Rationale: Previously, I'd argued for having only a single
      supported "From" policy, as a measure to prevent linkability
      based on client option preferences.  Adam Back correctly pointed
      out that this is silly.  Consider that _any_ use or non-use of
      From addresses makes messages linkable *in itself*.  In other
      words, Eve can already tell which messages set their from
      addresses; she gains nothing by learning that those messages
      have chosen an exit node with From support to do so.]
 
      Some admins have been hesitant to support "From," even in the
      limited form described in the spec.  I still hope that it will
      eventually prove itself to be relatively harmless, but given the
      low number of Type I/II exits with *any* from support, it does
      make sense to give both options a try (at least) for now.
