Request: Adding bb-services entries for mail submission and smtps (587 and 465)

The bb-services entry for smtps rightly indicates that smtps does not
have an IANA-approved port number, however the "standard" port used as
the default for most clients is what's generally run -- port 465.

Also, port 587 _is_ a standard for "submission" or "msa"... first time
injection of messages via authorized or authenticated SMTP.

It would be nice to see both of these supported by default in hobbit's
config. A patch to do so is below.
