Claws patch to enable CLIENTID capability

A recent patch to libetpan exposed an additional security capability called
CLIENTID.

The pull request which added this functionality to libetpan can be found here:
https://github.com/dinhviethoa/libetpan/pull/318

There's RFC drafts currently in the works for both the SMTP and IMAP "CLIENTID"
commands:
SMTP - https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-storey-smtp-client-id-05
IMAP - https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-yu-imap-client-id-00

The clientid can be viewed in the "preferences for current account" page, but
can only be edited by directly editing the accountrc file.

This patch adds support for the CLIENTID capability in the Claws Email client.

This is intended for email servers that have the CLIENTID capability enabled.  

The CLIENTID command is a an extra security layer offered by some SMTP/IMAP
servers.  

In the advent of a CLIENTID enabled server advertising support for CLIENTID,
Claws will be able to correctly present a CLIENTID via the CLIENTID verb.
