Add beginnings of sphinx-based code documentation

The docs still need some meat, but the infrastructure is in place. THis
allows us to generate the nice looking API documentation that many
python projects already have. We should document our API better, providing
an overview of the functionality available.

+.. currentmodule:: offlineimap
+
+Welcome to :mod:`offlineimaps`'s documentation
+===========================================
+
+The :mod:`offlineimap` module provides the user interface for synchronization between IMAP servers and MailDirs or between IMAP servers. The homepage containing the source code repository can be found at the `offlineimap wiki <https://github.com/spaetz/offlineimap/wiki>`_.
+
+Within :mod:`offlineimap`, the classes :class:`OfflineImap` provides the high-level functionality. The rest of the classes should usually not needed to be touched by the user. A folder is represented by a :class:`offlineimap.folder.Base.BaseFolder` or any derivative :mod:`offlineimap.folder`.

+The offlineimap 'binary'
+========================
+
+Offlineimap is invoked with the following pattern: `offlineimap [args...]`.
+
+Where [args...] are as follows:
+
+Options:
+  --version             show program's version number and exit
+  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+  -1                    Disable all multithreading operations and use solely a
+                        single-thread sync. This effectively sets the
+                        maxsyncaccounts and all maxconnections configuration
+                        file variables to 1.
+  -P DIR                Sets OfflineIMAP into profile mode. The program will
+                        create DIR (it must not already exist). As it runs,
+                        Python profiling information about each thread is
+                        logged into profiledir. Please note: This option is
+                        present for debugging and optimization only, and
+                        should NOT be used unless you have a specific reason
+                        to do so. It will significantly slow program
+                        performance, may reduce reliability, and can generate
+                        huge amounts of  data. This option implies the
+                        singlethreading option (-1).
+  -a ACCOUNTS           Overrides the accounts section in the config file.
+                        Lets you specify a particular account or set of
+                        accounts to sync without having to edit the config
+                        file. You might use this to exclude certain accounts,
+                        or to sync some accounts that you normally prefer not
+                        to.
+  -c FILE               Specifies a configuration file to use in lieu of
+                        ~/.offlineimaprc.
+
+  -d type1,[type2...]   Enables debugging for OfflineIMAP.  This is useful if
+                        you are trying to track down a malfunction or figure
+                        out what is going on under the hood.  I suggest that
+                        you use this with -1 in order to make the results more
+                        sensible. This option requires one or more debugtypes,
+                        separated by commas. These define what exactly  will
+                        be debugged, and so far include the options: imap,
+                        thread,maildir or ALL.  The imap option will enable
+                        IMAP protocol stream and parsing debugging.  Note that
+                        the output may contain passwords, so take care to
+                        remove  that from the debugging output before sending
+                        it to anyone else. The maildir option will enable
+                        debugging for certain Maildir operations.
+
+  -l FILE               Log to FILE
+
+  -f folder1,[folder2...]
+                        Only sync the specified folders. The 'folder's are the
+                        *untranslated* foldernames. This command-line option
+                        overrides any 'folderfilter' and 'folderincludes'
+                        options in the configuration file.
+
+  -k `[section:]option=value`
+                        Override configuration file option.  If"section" is
+                        omitted, it defaults to "general".  Any underscores
+                        "_" in the section name are replaced with spaces:
+                        for instance, to override option "autorefresh" in
+                        the "[Account Personal]" section in the config file
+                        one would use "-k Account_Personal:autorefresh=30".
+
+  -o                    Run only once, ignoring any autorefresh setting in the
+                        configuration file.
+  -q                    Run only quick synchronizations. Ignore any flag
+                        updates on IMAP servers.
+  -u INTERFACE          Specifies an alternative user interface to use. This
+                        overrides the default specified in the configuration
+                        file. The UI specified with -u  will be forced to be
+                        used, even if checks determine that it is not usable.
+                        Possible interface choices are: Curses.Blinkenlights,
+                        TTY.TTYUI, Noninteractive.Basic, Noninteractive.Quiet,
+                        Machine.MachineUI
