Complete Stalwart ConfigMap mount hardening: add stalwart.toml copy

Extends commit 291feb9 by adding stalwart-config (stalwart.toml) to the
copy-config initContainer. The previous fix only handled bootstrap-config
but missed stalwart-config, which was the root cause of CrashLoopBackOff
identified in DEV-426 stability testing.

Root cause: commit 693fcd3 introduced stalwart-config ConfigMap with
subPath mount. During pod restarts, Kubernetes subPath ConfigMap mounting
race leaves stalwart.toml empty/unparseable, causing:
  "Failed to parse data store settings at /etc/stalwart/stalwart.toml:
   expected value at line 1 column 1"

This completes the hardening by ensuring BOTH config files (config.json
and stalwart.toml) are atomically copied before Stalwart starts.

Fixes: DEV-433, DEV-431

+# One-time Job to configure Stalwart HTTP listener to allow internal cluster IPs

+# Problem: Stalwart blocks the HTTP port from Traefik's pod IP (10.244.2.227),
+#          causing 502/503 errors when accessing mail.basicstack.de
+#
