Heh, except "UID FETCH" returns sequence numbers :<

Since we're only doing read-only IMAP, I think it's safe to make
sequence numbers equivalent to UIDs (which are NNTP article
numbers).  Dummy messages can be returned if somebody starts
trying to retrieve by non-existent sequence numbers.

Thanks.  For the purposes of public-inbox-watch, I think the
only item UID FETCH really needs is the full message
("RFC822" aka "BODY[]").

I'll have to see what other IMAP clients out there expect;
but I'm not looking forward to translating all search queries
to SQL or Xapian; just "ALL", $UID_LO:$UID_HI and maybe some
other simple cases which don't require a recursive descent
parser.
