Done.  The HTTP/HTTPS endpoint is running via ssh tunnel because
Xapian requires a lot of disk space, but I managed to keep the
git@vger NNTP(S)/IMAP(S) endpoints on the VPS for now since
those only need the smaller SQLite DBs.

IMAP used to have search enabled, but I figure server-side IMAP
search is rarely useful; so the search index is gone on
imaps://public-inbox.org/inbox.comp.version-contro.git.*

IMAP search remains enabled on the Tor .onion endpoint:
  imap://ie5yzdi7fg72h7s4sdcztq5evakq23rdt33mfyfcddc5u3ndnw24ogqd.onion/
(which requires Tor to access, so it's pretty slow)

Reaching me may become less reliable, too, since my MTA is
on the same VPS that's being downgraded.

Actually, 1G is still a lot of RAM to me; 4x more than I had in 2008.
