+- Rename `_ex()` -> `_ext()`.

+- Avoid another source of random failures with `direct_imap` failing to connect on first try.
+- Remove all cache-related logic in the FFI pytest plugin.
+- Add a CI-failing check that documented sql schema matches real one.
+- Abort early if DNS to chatmail domain does not work and nicer pytest startup header.

+- Allow to run the test suite against underscore-domain relays.
