The pem file is now located in the directory /etc/cyrus-imapd. If there
was an old pem file in the old location (/usr/share/ssl/certs) but not
one in the new location the %post install moves it to the new location.
If neither the old or new locations contain a pem file then %post
creates one in the new location.

Also the pem file was not listed as %ghost in the %files section, this
was probably an oversight, it is now a "ghost config noreplace" file.
