Wez Furlong 42bf5c5e61 docs: adjust reference to improve search terms
We've been hoping that mkdocs-material will ship the much anticipated
search enhancements for some time, but it's time to recognize that
we need to do something to improve the search results with how
things work right now.

This is a big commit that changes the titles of the various pages
from the code-annotated synopsis to just the name of the function.

This makes it much easier now to match things like `kumo.reject`
directly, but `reject` remains awkward to find.

I think this is the best that we can do at this time.

A few functions have been annotated with the `status: deprecated` to
show as deprecated in the toc/nav (shows with a little trash can next
to the name).

dkim_verify

message:dkim_verify()

{{since('2023.11.28-b5252a41')}}

This method will verify each DKIM signature that is present at the top level of the message, up to a limit of 10 signatures. The limit is in place to limit the scope of a DoS attack being carried out through maliciously constructed messages.

For each signature, an authenticationresult object will be constructed and an array of those results will be returned to the caller.

Example: obtaining DKIM authentication results

kumo.on('smtp_server_message_received', function(msg)
  -- Verify the dkim signature and return the results.
  -- Note that this example isn't making any policy decisions;
  -- it is only annotating the message with the results and
  -- allowing it to be relayed
  local verify = msg:dkim_verify()
  print('dkim', kumo.json_encode_pretty(verify))
  -- Add the results to the message
  msg:add_authentication_results(msg:get_meta 'hostname', verify)
end)

might print something like this to the diagnostic log:

dkim    [
  {
    "props": {
      "header.d": "github.com",
      "header.i": "@github.com",
      "header.s": "pf2023",
      "header.a": "rsa-sha256",
      "header.b": "jo0EO4dX"
    },
    "result": "pass",
    "method": "dkim",
    "reason": null,
    "method_version": null
  }
]

and produce an Authentication-Results header:

Authentication-Results: hostname.example.com;
        dkim=pass
        header.a=rsa-sha256
        header.b=jo0EO4dX
        header.d=github.com
        header.i=@github.com
        header.s=pf2023
