Include files option in spam.assassin.prefs

[Randal, Phil]

When you run

  spamassassin -D -p /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf --lint

it lists near the start the directories it includes .cf files from.

Normally, you'd expect to put additional site-wide rules in
/etc/mail/spamassin

We're using bigevil.cf, popcornonly.cf, weeds.cf, nov2rules.cf and Obfu1.cf
plus a few other custom rules here.

Cheers,

Phil
