patch that moves the bogus "Time moved forward" warning to debug

Dovecot complains about time moving forward, which seems to be due to a broken
mechanism (on FreeBSD) used to measure timeouts. This warning spams the maillog
up to several hundred times per day.

There's an ongoing thread about this issue in the freebsd forums:
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/dovecot-time-moved-forwards.82886

In post #33 RypPn points out the offending line in main.c and in post #34
msplsh suggests instead of completely removing/commenting out the line, it
would be more sensible to move it from 'warning' to 'debug'.
This is what this patch does: change the log facility to 'debug' to mute that
bogus message for standard configurations, but keep it in 'debug' for anyone
who might want to debug that issue in the future.

I tested the patch as a local patch in poudriere and it builds fine on
13.3-RELEASE with the quarterly and latest branch.
