Allow transport-type tunnels to the IMAP servers

It's nice to set up an ssh tunnel command which forwards an IMAP tcp
port inside an encrypted session, e.g. with ssh's "-W" flag.  In this
case the tunnelled connection still requires authentication inside
IMAP session, because this is transport-only tunnel that substitutes
normal TCP/SSL connection.

New directive, 'transporttunnel' was added: it specifies the command
that will create the tunnel.  Only one type of tunnel must be
specified for a single repository: we can't have both preauthenticated
and transport-type tunnels, they won't chain together.
