#13006: EHLO 127.0.0.1 is not a good choice

Torbirdy uses 127.0.0.1 to identify itself when sending mail.
Unfortunately this value is also commonly used by spammers and so a
sensible MTA config will reject connections identifying themselves like
this.
Using tor to send mail already identifies the sender as using tor,
obviously, because the exit gateway will be known/identifiable. Therefore
fingerprinting on this value should not be a concern.
Propose to change this to a valid hostname, which should be created in the
DNS, such as,
birdy.torproject.org. IN A 127.0.0.1
