feat(Mailer): add "null" SMTP transport mode

== Goal

Allow disabling mail delivery altogether.

== Usecase

If mails ought to be send by other means than rendering messages from
templates and sending them via SMTP-like protocols.

Example: listening to specific Nextcloud events and pass parameters to
a centralized (i.e. REST-based) API that sends e-mails.
