inbound-provider-imap

Registers the "imap" provider for inbound-mail-foundation using imapflow — password/app-password auth covers classic IMAP hosts without any OAuth (plus an XOAUTH2 fallback consuming an access token from the secret slot). Incremental sync via a UIDVALIDITY:lastUid cursor (UIDVALIDITY change triggers a cursor-invalid full resync), initial backfill bounded by the foundation backfill window, and live push via IMAP IDLE for the watch supervisor. Store the per-account connection JSON (host/port/secure/user/password) in the account credential secret slot before the first sync.
