When opening unread emails from certain people (I won't name any names,
sorry), an annoying error message is displayed on the status line:
could not get section &imap.BodySectionName{BodyPartName:
imap.BodyPartName{Specifier:"", Path:[]int(nil), Fields:[]string(nil),
NotFields:false}, Peek:false, Partial:[]int(nil), value}
This does not occur for already read messages. This issue is similar to
the one that was fixed in commit 8ed95b0d2a ("imap: avoid crash when
replying to unread message").
This happens because the flags are updated in the callback that receives
the message itself. It causes the flag update to arrive in the same
channel/request. Ignore the messages that have an empty body (i.e. only
containing flag updates). This is inherently racy but there seems no way
to get rid of these extra messages.

There are concurrent threads that are accessing and modifying
IMAPWorker.seqMap (the mapping of sequence numbers to message UIDs).
This can lead to crashes when trying to add and remove a message ID.

Use a map which makes more sense than a simple array for random access
operations. Also, it allows better typing for the key values. Protect
the map with a mutex. Add internal API to access the map. Add basic unit
tests to ensure that concurrent access works.

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.

Since panics still regularly "destroy" the terminal, it is hard to get a
stack trace for panics you do not anticipate. This commit adds a panic
handler that automatically creates a logfile inside the current working
directory.
It has to be added to every goroutine that is started and will repair
the terminal on a panic.

Some messages contain invalid headers, textproto.ReadHeader fails with
an error:
malformed MIME header key: From nobody Fri Jan 14 19
And all other messages of the selected folder are ignored.
Return an explicit error message to the UI and continue processing other
messages. This is consistent with what the maildir worker does.

- Add maildir flags to complement a messages imap flags
- Set the "seen" flag on sent messages when using the maildir backend
- Cleanup AppendMessage interface to use models.Flag for both IMAP and
maildir
Before, we were using several IMAP-specific concepts to represent
information being displayed in the UI. Factor these structures out of
the IMAP package to make it easier for other backends to provide the
required information.
A sequence-set is an IMAP-specific implementation detail. Throughout the
UI, aerc simply operates using lists of opaque identifiers. In order to
loosen the coupling between the UI and IMAP in particular, replace most
usages of imap.SeqSet with []uint32, leaving the translation to a SeqSet
to the IMAP backend as needed.
Before, the information needed to display different parts of the UI was
tightly coupled to the specific messages being sent back and forth to
the backend worker. Separating out a models package allows us to be more
specific about exactly what a backend is able to and required to
provide for the UI.
Unfortunately, the IMAP protocol hasn't been designed to be used from multiple
goroutines at the same time. For instance, if you fetch twice the same message
from two different goroutines, it's not possible to tell whether the response
is for one receiver or the other. For this reason, go-imap clients aren't safe
to use from multiple goroutines.
This commit changes the IMAP workers to be synchronous again (a command is
executed only after the previous one has completed). To use IMAP from different
threads, popular clients (e.g. Thunderbird) typically open multiple
connections.
