Bug description:
  [Impact]

  "postfix tls deploy-server-cert" did not handle a missing optional
  argument which makes users get a "can't shift that many..." error.

  In this SRU we are proposing a microrelease update in Focal from
  version 3.4.10 to 3.4.13 since the changes are self contained.
  Moreover, there is a Postfix SRU exception which allows microreleases
  if the bug is fixed in the current development series:

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Postfix

  And according to the described process there is no need to define a
  Test Case and a Regression Potential sections. Upstream has been doing
  a good work regarding those stable version bug fixes.

  Here is the upstream changelog change between 3.4.10 and 3.4.13:

  20200416

   Workaround for broken builds after an incompatible change
   in GCC 10. Files: makedefs, Makefile.in.

   Workaround for broken DANE support after an incompatible
   change in GLIBC 2.31. This avoids the need for new options
   in /etc/resolv.conf. Files: dns/dns.h, dns/dns_lookup.c.

  20200419

   Bugfix: segfault in the tlsproxy client role when the server
   role was disabled. This typically happens on systems that
   do not receive mail, after configuring connection reuse for
   outbound TLS. Found during program maintenance. File:
   tlsproxy/tlsproxy.c.

  20200420

   Noise suppression: shut up a compiler that special-cases
   string literals. Viktor Dukhovni. File milter/milter.c.

  20200422

   Security: disable DANE support on Alpine Linux because
   libc-musl provides no indication whether DNS responses are
   authentic. This broke DANE support without a clear explanation.
   File: makedefs.

  20200505

   Noise suppression: shut up a compiler that special-cases
   string literals. Viktor Dukhovni. File smtpd/smtpd_check.c.

  20200509

   Bugfix (introduced: Postfix 3.5): maillog_file_rotate_suffix
   default value used the minute instead of the month. Reported
   by Larry Stone. Files: conf/postfix-tls-script,
   proto/MAILLOG_README.html, proto/postconf.proto.
   global/mail_params.h, postfix/postfix.c.

  20200510

   Bitrot: avoid U_FILE_ACCESS_ERROR after chroot(), by
   initializing the ICU library before making the chroot()
   call. Files: util/midna_domain.[hc], global/mail_params.c.

  20200511

   Noise suppression: avoid "SSL_Shutdown:shutdown while in
   init" warnings. File: tls/tls_session.c.

  20200515

   Bugfix (introduced: Postfix 2.2): a TLS error for a PostgreSQL
   client caused a false 'lost connection' error for an SMTP
   over TLS session in the same Postfix process. Reported by
   Alexander Vasarab, diagnosed by Viktor Dukhovni. File:
   tls/tls_bio_ops.c.

   Bugfix (introduced: Postfix 2.8): a TLS error for one TLS
   session may cause a false 'lost connection' error for a
   concurrent TLS session in the same tlsproxy process. File:
   tlsproxy/tlsproxy.c.

  20200530

   Bugfix (introduced: Postfix 3.1): "postfix tls deploy-server-cert"
   did not handle a missing optional argument. File:
   conf/postfix-tls-script.

  20200610

   Bugfix (introduced: Postfix 3.4): in the Postfix SMTP server,
   the SNI callback reported an error when it was called a
   second time. This happened after the server-side TLS engine
   sent a TLSv1.3 HelloRetryRequest (HRR) to a remote SMTP
   client. Reported by Ján Máté, fixed by Viktor Dukhovni.
   File: tls/tls_misc.c.

  This new microrelease fixes the dane issue and the build against GCC
  10 which makes us drop a patch applied in version 3.4.7-1
  (80_glibc2.30-ftbfs.diff).

  Attempting to deploy server certificates with
       postfix tls deploy-server-cert certificate.crt keyfile.key

  Expected to deploy new certificates

  What happened - command fails with
       /usr/lib/postfix/sbin/postfix-tls-script: 780: shift: can't shift that many

  The issue appears to be that the function "deploy-server-cert" in
  /usr/lib/postfix/sbin/postfix-tls-script expects that there will be
  three arguments:

  /usr/lib/postfix/sbin/postfix-tls-script  line 777
       deploy_server_cert() {
       certfile=$1; shift
       keyfile=$1; shift
       deploy=$1; shift
              ...

  This works when the function is called by the function new_server_cert, which calls the function with the arguments:
       deploy_server_cert "${certfile}" "${keyfile}" "${deploy}" || return 1

  But when this function is invoked directly in line 1154, it is called with only 2 arguments
       deploy_server_cert "${certfile}" "${keyfile}" || exit 1
