Removed this pointer to a downloaded bytes counter because it was set in
pop3_init() to point to the same variable the transfer functions keep
the count in (k->bytecount), effectively making the code in transfer.c
"*k->bytecountp = k->bytecount" a no-op.

From a maintenance point of view the code reads better to view tagged
responses, then untagged followed by continuation responses.
Additionally, this matches the order of responses in POP3.
Updated the POP3 sub-section to refer to message ID rather than mailbox.
Added an IMAP sub-section with example URLs depicting the specification
of mailbox, uid and section.
Updated the mailbox variable to correctly reflect it's purpose. The
name mailbox was a leftover from when IMAP and POP3 support was
initially added to curl.
Updated the FETCH command to send the UID and SECTION parsed from the
URL. By default the BODY specifier doesn't include a section, BODY[] is
now sent whereas BODY[TEXT] was previously sent. In my opinion
retrieving just the message text is rarely useful when dealing with
emails, as the headers are required for example, so that functionality
is not retained. In can however be simulated by adding SECTION=TEXT to
the URL.
Also updated test801 and test1321 due to the BODY change.
Removed user and passwd from the SMTP struct as these cannot be set on
a per-request basis and are leftover from legacy FTP code.
Changed some comments still using FTP terminology.

Moved the mailbox and custom request variables from the per-connection
struct pop3_conn to the new per-request struct and fixed references
accordingly.
Created a new IMAP structure and changed the type of the imap proto
variable in connectdata from FTP* to the new IMAP*.
Moved the mailbox variable from the per-connection struct imap_conn to
the new per-request struct and fixed references accordingly.
Moved the clean-up of the mailbox variable from imap_disconnect() to
imap_done() as this variable is allocated in the do phase, yet would
have only been freed only once if multiple selects where preformed
on a single connection.
* Elaborates on default values of some curl_easy_setopt() options.
* Reminds the user to cast variadic arguments to curl_easy_setopt() to
'void *' where curl internally interprets them as such.
* Clarifies the working of the CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION option for
curl_easy_setopt().
* Fixes typo 'forth' → 'fourth'.
* Elaborates on CURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUT.
* Adds some missing periods.
* Notes that the return value of curl_version() must not be passed to
free().
Always interprets the pointer passed with the CURLOPT_WRITEDATA or
CURLOPT_READDATA options of curl_easy_setopt() as a void pointer in
order to avoid problems in environments where FILE and void pointers
have non-trivial conversion.
* Adds several links to documentation of library functions which were
missing.
* Marks documentation of deprecated library functions "(deprecated)".
* Removes spurious .html suffixes.
