[issue8808] imaplib should support SSL contexts

[Sijin Joseph]

Sijin Joseph <sijinjoseph at gmail.com> added the comment:

I am attaching a patch for the default branch that adds a ssl_context parameter to IMAP4_SSL. Also added a couple of tests to test_imaplib to test the existing ctor with certfile and file and also the new one that accepts an SSLContext.

Currently if the ssl_context param is provided then the keyfile and certfile are ignored, I wasn't sure if the ssl_context should be loaded with the certfile if that is provided along with the ssl_context.

If this looks ok, I can add something similar for smtplib as well.
