imapclient: first step towards making package usable as imap client with other imap servers, and minor imapserver bug fix

The imapclient needs more changes, like more strict parsing, before it can be a
generally usable IMAP client, these are a few steps towards that.

- Fix a bug in the imapserver METADATA responses for TOOMANY and MAXSIZE.
- Split low-level IMAP protocol handling (new Proto type) from the higher-level
  client command handling (existing Conn type). The idea is that some simple
  uses of IMAP can get by with just using these commands, while more intricate
  uses of IMAP (like a synchronizing client that needs to talk to all kinds of
  servers with different behaviours and implemented extensions) can write custom
  commands and read untagged responses or command completion results
  explicitly. The lower-level method names have clearer names now, like
  ReadResponse instead of Response.
- Merge the untagged responses and (command completion) "Result" into a new
  type Response. Makes function signatures simpler. And make Response implement
  the error interface, and change command methods to return the Response as error
  if the result is NO or BAD. Simplifies error handling, and still provides the
  option to continue after a NO or BAD.
- Add UIDSearch/MSNSearch commands, with a custom "search program", so mostly
  to indicate these commands exist.
- More complete coverage of types for response codes, for easier handling.
- Automatically handle any ENABLED or CAPABILITY untagged response or response
  code for IMAP command methods on type Conn.
- Make difference between MSN vs UID versions of
  FETCH/STORE/SEARCH/COPY/MOVE/REPLACE commands more clear. The original MSN
  commands now have MSN prefixed to their name, so they are grouped together in
  the documentation.
- Document which capabilities are needed for a command.

/*
Package imapclient provides an IMAP4 client, primarily for testing the IMAP4 server.
Package imapclient provides an IMAP4 client implementing IMAP4rev1 (RFC 3501),
IMAP4rev2 (RFC 9051) and various extensions.
Commands can be sent to the server free-form, but responses are parsed strictly.
Behaviour that may not be required by the IMAP4 specification may be expected by
this client.
Warning: Currently primarily for testing the mox IMAP4 server. Behaviour that
may not be required by the IMAP4 specification may be expected by this client.
See [Conn] for a high-level client for executing IMAP commands. Use its embedded
[Proto] for lower-level writing of commands and reading of responses.
*/

/*
- Try to keep the parsing method names and the types similar to the ABNF names in the RFCs.
- todo: have mode for imap4rev1 vs imap4rev2, refusing what is not allowed. we are accepting too much now.
- todo: stricter parsing. xnonspace() and xword() should be replaced by proper parsers.

//
// The methods on Conn typically return errors of type Error or Response. Error
// represents protocol and i/o level errors, including io.ErrDeadlineExceeded and
