[offlineimap] open_socket() leaks DNS requests when proxying (#189)

1. I found some critical analysis and review of the offlineimap algorithm and runtime performance, including charts and state diagrams.
This is interesting feedback to evaluate which parts of the algorithm to improve / mini-refactor... which algorithms need upgrading / partial rewrite / full rewrite... etc..

2. it would be nice to compare algorithm with the other 3 popular imap sync applications.
To borrow methods from their algorithms, if/when their algorithms are doing some task possibly more accurately/ more efficiently.
