Summary: Make Imap Error more helpful

Initial Comment:
Hi,

In my app I got this error:

 imaplib.error: command SEARCH illegal in state AUTH.

but I did successfully login. After reading the source
of imaplib.py I realized that this was meant:

imaplib.error: command SEARCH illegal in state AUTH. Allowed after: SELECTED

Attached is a small patch to make the error message
more helpful.
