Fix "command CHECK illegal in state AUTH"

Browse Source 
Dave identified a case where our new dropped connection handling did
not work out correctly: we use the retry_left variable to signify
success (0=success if no exception occured).

However, we were decrementing the variable AFTER all the exception
checks, so if there was one due to a dropped connection, it
could well be that we 1) did not raise an exception (because we want to
retry), and 2) then DECREMENTED retry_left, which indicated "all is
well, no need to retry".

The code then continued to check() the append, which failed with the
above message (because we obtained a new connection which had not even
selected the current folder and we were still in mode AUTH). The fix is
of course, to fix our logic: Decrement retry_left first, THEN decide
whether to raise() (retry_left==0) or retry (retry_left>0) which would
then correctly attempt another loop. I am sorry for this newbie type of
logic error. The retry count loop was too hastily slipped in, it seems.
