launchpad incoming mx.canonical.com should support opportunistic TLS

Bug Description

It would be useful if the MX for launchpad.net (mx.canonical.com) supported opportunistic TLS. (ie we don't insist on it, and we don't check the client certificate, but we do it if offered.) This would help keep eg private bug data private in transit. It should be easy to turn on in postfix.

scottk says he just tried this and it doesn't work.

We could have a separate bug for using TLS for outgoing mail from Launchpad if the recipient supports it, if that is not done already.
