Instead of each top-level IMAP folder being a FolderRoot object, then
children of that being FolderPath objects, this makes FolderRoot an
"empty" FolderPath, so that both top-level and descendant folders are
plain FolderPath objects. Aside from being more technically correct,
this means that empty namespace roots can now be used interchangably
with non-empty namespace roots (addressing issue #181), and custom
folder implementations no longer need to provide their own trivial,
custom FolderRoot.

To support this, a notion of an IMAP root and a local root have been
added from which all remote and local folder paths are now derived,
existing places that assume top-level == root have been fixed, and
unit tests have been added.
