Support partial archive sanitization

Core 4.15.1 required

This feature requires MetaDefender Core version 4.15.1.

There is the new SKIP PARTIAL SANITIZATIONS option under Policy > Security Rules / add/modify / ADVANCED / OVERRIDE SANITIZATION BEHAVIOR, that will instruct Email Security to not replace partially sanitized archives in email attachments, handle them as if there was no sanitization at all for these files.

For emails, where partial sanitization was skipped, Audit > Email History / Email details will show the skip event.

Fixed

"Illegal characters in path" errors

Email Security reported i llegal characters in path errors for certain emails. These emails failed permanently, there was, however, no real reason for this failure: the emails were available on the filesystem.
