1. There is one database per folder and sqlite requires to serialize the
writings. Instead of locking at LocalStatusSQLiteFolder instance level,
introduce a new DatabaseFileLock object which is shared across threads. This
fixes the concurrent writes issues that some users might experience by
duplications or flags restored to the previous state.
2. Close the database only when we are sure no other threads will use the
connection on a *per-file* basis. Previous fix 677afb8d8f is wrong
because the same lock is shared for all the database files.

When a maildir is removed it must be considered new for the sync. However, the
local cache of the folder remains. This means the sync of the folder removes all
the missing emails.
Avoid loosing of data for users not aware of the local cache by removing any
pre-existing status cache of a folder when we actually want to create the
database.
Improve style.

If when we request a LocalStatus folder, the folder has to be created,
we look whether the other backend has data, and if it does we migrate
it to the new backend.
The old backend data is left untouched, so that if you change back say
from sqlite to plaintext, the older data is still there. That should
not lead to data loss, only a slower sync while the status folder gets
updated.

* Implements Status Folder format v2, with a mechanism to upgrade an
old statusfolder.
* Do not warn about Gmail and GmailMaildir needing sqlite backend
anymore.
* Clean repository.LocalStatus reusing some code from
folder.LocalStatus.
* Change field separator in the plaintext file from ':' to '|'. Now
the local status stores gmail labels. If they contain field
separator character (formerly ':'), they get messed up. The new
character '|' is less likely to appear in a label.

They are redundant in all pruned cases and sometimes even create some
problems, e.g., when one tries to jump through paragraphs in vi.

accidentally left over. Fix this.

If we ask twice for a LocalStatusFolder via getfolder(), we would
get a newly created instance each time. This can lead to problems,
as e.g. write locks protecting files only work within the same Folder
instance. Make it so, that we cache all Folder instances that we have
asked for and hand back the existing one if we ask again for it,
rather than recreate a new instance.
Also, make getfolders() a noop for LocalStatus. We attempted to
derive the foldername from the name of the LocalStatusfile. However,
this is not really possible, as we do file name mangling
(".$" -> "dot", "/" -> ".") and there is no way to get the original folder
name from the LocalStatus file name anyway.
This commit could potentially solve the "file not found" errors, that people
have been seeing with their LocalStatusCache files. If we have 2
instances of a LocalStatusFolder pointing to the same file, our locking
system would not work.

IMAP, Maildir, and LocalStatus abort if in dry-run mode. IMAP and Maildir
will log that they "would have" created a new folder.
This will probably fail later on as we can not cache messagelists on
folder that don't exist, so --dry-run is not yet safe when new folders
have been created.

They have the Repository() which contains the root, so no need to pass
it in as an extra parameter. Rename repository.LocalStatus()'s
self.directory to self.root for consistency with other backends.

It is possible to get the config parameter from the Repository() which is
set in BaseFolder, so we set self.config there and remove the various
methods and 'config' parameters that are superfluous.

We passed in the accountname to all derivatives of BaseFolder, such as
IMAPFolder(...,repository,...,accountname), although it is perfectly
possible to get the accountname from the Repository(). So remove this
unneeded parameter. Each backend had to define getaccountname() (although
the function is hardly used and most accessed .accountname directly).
On the other hand BaseFolder was using getaccountname but it never defined
the function. So make the sane thing, remove all definitions from backends
and define accountname() once in Basefolder. It was made a property and not
just a (public) attribute, so it will show up in our developer
documentation as public API.

Empty foldernames (as they could be created through nametrans) were
failing as the uidvalidity and status files names as determined by
folder/Base.py:getfolderbasename() lead to invalid file names ''.
Fix this by handling empty file names and translating them to '.' which
leads to the special file name 'dot'. (this special value existed before
and was not invented by this patch)
