The IMAP worker has a few methods that post a new Action to itself. This
can create a deadlock when the worker.Actions channel is full: The
worker can't accept a new Action because it's trying to post an action.
This is most noticeable when cached headers are enabled and the message
list is scrolled fast.
Use a goroutine to post actions to the worker when posting from within
the worker.

Apply GoDoc comment policy (comments for humans should have a space
after the //; machine-readable comments shouldn't)
Use strings.ReplaceAll instead of strings.Replace when appropriate
Remove if/else chains by replacing them with switches
Use short assignment/increment notation
Replace single case switches with if statements
Combine else and if when appropriate

Do not pass logger objects around anymore. Shuffle some messages to make
them consistent with the new logging API. Avoid using %v when a more
specific verb exists for the argument types.
The loggers are completely disabled (i.e. Sprintf is not even called)
by default. They are only enabled when redirecting stdout to a file.

Add option to cache headers for imap accounts. Cache db is located at
$XDG_CACHE_DIR/aerc/{account name}. The cache is cleaned of stale
entries when aerc is first opened.
Two new account level configuration options are introduced:
* cache-headers (Default: false)
* cache-max-age (Default: 30 days (720 hours))
The change in worker/imap/open.go is to set the selected directory. This
is required to access the UIDVALIDITY field, which is used in
combination with the message ID to form the key for use in the cache db.
The key structure is: "header.{UIDVALIDITY}.{UID}"
Where reasonable, cache does not stop aerc from running. In general, if
there is an error in the cache, aerc should continue working as usual.
Errors are either displayed to the user or logged.
All messages are stored without flags, and when retrieved have the flags
set to SEEN. This is to prevent UI flashes. A new method to
FetchMessageFlags is introduced to update flags of cached headers. This
is done asynchronously, and the user will see their messages appear and
then any flags updated. The message will initially show as SEEN, but
will update to unread. I considered updating the cache with the
last-known flag state, however it seems prudent to spare the R/W cycle
and assume that - eventually - all messages will end up read, and if it
isn't the update will occur rather quickly.
Note that leveldb puts a lock on the database, preventing multiple
instances of aerc from accessing the cache at the same time.
Much of this work is based on previous efforts by Vladimír Magyar.
