Bug description:  IMAP module lacks important/relevant parts of the c-client 
library

Description:
------------
IMAP [1] supports a CAPABILITY command to check for various supported
extensions. While the c-client library supports checking for capabilities,
PHP doesn't offer any way to do that.

One of that extensions, NAMESPACE [2], is critical for applications that
use php and imap in combination with a server that relies on different
namespaces for the user inbox and for example the shared folders.
Without support for this command (which again is already available in the
c-client library and "only" needs exposure/wrapping) there's no way to
access shared folders on a server that supports multiple namespaces and
therefor things like listing shared folders, subscribing to shared folders
etc. cannot work reliably (without hardcoding/hacking the namespace in).

Proposal: Support for both protocol details should be added. I guess it's
a no-brainer for anyone with a little experience with php modules and C.

Reproduce code:
---------------
n/a

Expected result:
----------------
Improved support for the imap protocol, especially for the CAPABILITIES
and NAMESPACE part.

Actual result:
--------------
No support at all yet.
