Remove the use of imaplib

Much of IMAPClient could be so much cleaner if it didn't rely on imaplib underneath.

Do you want to move to an alternative or create your own imaplib replacement? In case of the former, perhaps you are not aware of aioimaplib, which seems to try and create a ‘modern’ version of imaplib2. But the fact that it is GPL-3 may be an obstacle.

@equaeghe The plan is to just have a small core of what imaplib does implemented as part of IMAPClient. There's really not that much required that IMAPClient doesn't have already.
