Allow Imapserver.releaseconnection() to drop a connection

If a connection is broken, we want to have it really dropped and not be
reused. So far, we are checking the .Terminate attribute for this, but
according to the imaplib2 author, it is only set on normal shutdown and
it is an undocumented attribute whose meaning could change any time.

This patch introduces the parameter drop_conn which allows to tell
releaseconnection() that we really want to connection being dropped from
the pool of available connections and properly destroy it.
