[PATCH] imapserver.py: Implement STARTTLS

If we do not use a SSL connection anyway and if the server supports it,
authenticate automatically with STARTTLS.

Here is a small patch against next which implements STARTTLS and changes
the Changelog draft.  I verified that I could connect via Starttls just
fine to my IMAP server so that patch is not totally broken.

I am not sure if we want to take feature additions such as this one now,
or if we want to postpone it until the nect merge cycle.
