Subject: [PATCH 1/2] lib-imap: Don't accept strings with NULs

IMAP doesn't allow NULs except in binary literals. We'll still allow them
in regular literals as well, but just not in strings.

This fixes a bug with unescaping a string with NULs: str_unescape() could
have been called for memory that points outside the allocated string,
causing heap corruption. This could cause crashes or theoretically even
result in remote code execution exploit.
