Add a wrapper for the IMAP MOVE command (RFC 6851), analogous to copy(). The arguments of MOVE and UID MOVE are quoted when necessary.

No client-side fallback to COPY/STORE/EXPUNGE for servers without the MOVE capability: imaplib is a thin protocol layer, and silently issuing different commands than asked would be wrong at this level. Supersedes GH-19072.
