Add maildir backend worker

Add the initial implementation of a backend for Maildir accounts. Much
of the functionality required is implemented in the go-message and
go-maildir libraries, so we use them as much as possible.

The maildir worker hooks into a new maildir:// URL scheme in the
accounts.conf file which points to a container of several maildir
directories. From there, the OpenDirectory, FetchDirectoryContents, etc
messages work on subdirectories. This is implemented as a Container
struct which handles mapping between the symbolic email folder names and
UIDs to the concrete directories and file names.
