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

Dovecot complains about time moving forward, which seems to be due to a bro=
ken
mechanism (on FreeBSD) used to measure timeouts. This warning spams the mai=
llog
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 th=
at
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.
