[issue19678] smtpd.py: channel should be passed to process_message

[Leslie P. Polzer]

New submission from Leslie P. Polzer:

process_message needs to have access to the channel state since it needs to make decisions based on the authentication or transport associated with the channel. It should be either the first or the last arg.

I can provide a patch for this. Should backwards compatibility be achieved by using the inspect module to check the signature of process_message and call it accordingly?
