config: Introduce an enabled flag for S/MIME

This allows setups where there is no S/MIME. In some scenarios using just
GPG is fine and S/MIME might even be discouraged. Previously this required
to provide a dummy S/MIME key just to make remail happy. With this new flag
there is no need for that key if S/MIME is not required for the list.
