imaplibutil: Remove flagrantly bad use of private attribute

Frankly, the original code doesn't even make much sense, and
moreover it's not forward compatible with python 2.6, and
furthermore:

DeprecationWarning: socket.ssl() is deprecated.

So, this commit is just a temporary fix.

Fix performance for SSL

Added WrappedIMAP4_SSL class to help fix up performance of SSL

Standard imaplib.py is really bad with this, since it reads one
character at a time.

I just noticed that the version of offlineimap I've been using

(3.99.17) is well over four years old.  How time flies.  I haven't

had any problems with it, but out of curiosity I decided to pull in

5.99.2 from the fedora repository.  It turns out to take

consistently over twice as long as the old version to sync the same

account.  Is this expected?

The following changeset is the one responsible for the difference in

speed I was noticing between the imaplib.py that was packaged with

older versions of offlineimap and the one that comes with python:

    More optimizations -- this time fix readline() to not work
