Not processing the final FETCH responses was not optimal, not only
because the response code would be ignored but it would also leave data
unread on the socket which would prohibit connection reuse.
A typical FETCH response can be broken down into four parts:
1) "* <uid> FETCH (<what> {<size>}\r\n", using continuation syntax
2) <size> bytes of the actual message
3) ")\r\n", finishing the untagged response
4) "<tag> OK ...", finishing the command
Part 1 is read in imap_fetch_resp(), part 2 is consumed in the PERFORM
phase by the transfer subsystem, parts 3 and 4 are currently ignored.
Added a loop to imap_statemach_act() in which Curl_pp_readresp() is
called until the cache is drained. Without this multiple responses
received in a single packet could result in a hang or delay.
RFC 3501 states that "the client MUST be prepared to accept any response
at all times" yet we assume anything received with "* " at the beginning
is the untagged response we want.
Introduced a helper function that checks whether the input looks like a
response to specified command, so that we may filter the ones we are
interested in according to the current state.
Introduced similar handling to the FETCH responses, where even the
untagged data responses are handled by the response handler of the
individual state.
Removed this pointer to a downloaded bytes counter because it was set in
smtp_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.
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.
