mvmf: mvmf/mfl related documents

NB: Most of this relates to SIEVE, even though the intent was to be broader. There's a lot more non-SIEVE reading that could be added (and probably SIEVE, for that matter).

Here are some links to documents and reading material related to mvmf, mfl, email, filtering, and spam.
