89619838b0 Remove weird SigListener class
The SigListener class was used to queue folders that we need to sync and
to receive "resync" and "abort" signals. It was undocumented and weird
and we had to pass "siglisteners" through the whole program.

Simply do away with it, and make 2 functions in the Account() class:
set_abort_event and get_abort_event which can be used to set and check
for such signals. This way we do not need to pass siglisteners all over
the place. Tested Blinkenlights and TTYUI uis to make sure that SIGUSR1
and SIGUSR2 actually still work.

Document those signals in MANUAL.rst. They were completly undocumented.

This simplifies the code and interdependencies by passing less stuff
around. Removes an undocumented and weirdly named class.

b81b7d6001 Implement true single-threading
Previously, we would spawn child threads for account synchronization
even if we had single-threading enabled. This prevented us from catching
the true location of exceptions, for example. Now, in single-threaded
mode, we perform the account synchronization truely in the main thread
which will ease our debugging.

e1fb9492f8 Patch for signal handling to start a sync by Jim Pryor
Here's the way I'd like to use offlineimap on my laptop:
    1. Have a regular cron job running infrequently. The cron job
    checks to see
if I'm online, plugged in, and that no other copy of offlineimap is
running. If
all of these conditions are satisfied, it runs offlineimap just once:
"offlineimap -o -u Noninteractive.Quiet"

    2. When I start up mutt, I do it by calling a wrapper script that
    delays
until cron-started copies of offlineimap have finished, then starts
    offlineimap
on its regular, stay-alive and keep checking schedule. When I quit
    mutt, the
wrapper script tells offlineimap to stop.

This way I get frequent regular checks while I have mutt running, but
I don't
waste my battery/cpu checking frequently for mail when I'm not
interested in
it.

To make this work, though, it'd be nicer if it were easier to tell
offlineimap,
from the outside, things like "terminate cleanly now" and "when you've
finished
synching, then terminate instead of sleeping and synching again."

OK, to put my money where my mouth is, I attach two patches against
offlineimap
6.0.3.

The first, "cleanup.patch", cleans up a few spots that tend to throw
exceptions
for me as offlineimap is exiting from a KeyboardInterrupt.

The second adds signaling capabilities to offlineimap.

* sending a SIGTERM tells offlineimap to terminate immediately but
  cleanly,
  just as if "q" had been pressed in the GUI interface

* sending a SIGUSR1 tells every account to do a full sync asap: if
  it's
  sleeping, then wake up and do the sync now. If it's mid-sync, then
  re-synch
  any folders whose syncing has already been started or completed, and
  continue
  to synch the other, queued but not-yet-synched folders.

* sending a SIGHUP tells every account to die as soon as it can (but
  not
  immediately: only after finishing any synch it's now engaged in)

* sending a SIGUSR2 tells every account to do a full sync asap (as
  with
  SIGUSR1), then die

It's tricky to mix signals with threads, but I think I've done this
correctly.
I've been using it now for a few weeks without any obvious
problems. But I'm passing it
on so that others can review the code and test it out on their
systems. I developed the
patch when I was running Python 2.5.2, but to my knowledge I don't use
any Python 2.5-specific
code. Now I'm using the patch with Python 2.6.

Although I said "without any obvious problems," let me confess that
I'm
seeing offlineimap regularly choke when I do things like this: start
up
my offlineimap-wrapped copy of mutt, wait a while, put the machine to
sleep (not sure if offlineimap is active in the background or idling),
move to a different spot, wake the machine up again and it acquires a
new network, sometimes a wired network instead of wifi. Offlineimap
doesn't like that so much. I don't yet have any reason to think the
problems here come from my patches. But I'm just acknowledging them,
so
that if others are able to use offlineimap without any difficulty in
situations like I described, then maybe the fault is with my patches.
