feat(3p/public-inbox): always set list-id when ingesting in watch r/5775

There is a code path in public-inbox that will (under certain
conditions) set the expected list-id as derived from the recipient
mail address (so in our case depot@tvl.su -> `List-ID: depot.tvl.su`).

However, when/how this triggers seems to be particular to the code
path taken based on certain config settings. I couldn't fully figure
it out, and to be honest I don't really know Perl, and I don't think
this warrants a super-high-effort investigation.

For that reason, this patches the appropriate line in
public-inbox-watch to always trigger this code path regardless of what
is going on with the email.

I tested this locally with a public-inbox config that does *not* have
a `listid` setting set, as that just adds an additional filter which
would be a no-op in this case. All emails are ingested correctly with
List-ID set.

There might be a better place to put this in (e.g. right before the
actual mail ingestion), if a Perl expert is interested in figuring
this out and considers it relevant, feel free to send a CL.

Note that this will not update old emails. Probably.
