fix for the above problem

Hello,

according to the comment in tf_maildir.c and according to the usage of
the maildir_ensure_sizefile() function, the return value in face of a race
condition should be -2, not -1.

Probably this only bites on a flooded system where the maildirsize file
gets removed quite often. The wrong return value causes deferred delivery.


Additionally I changed a variable definition in appendfile.c
to a more local place. (It's not important, but looks nicer to me :)
