summary:
 #20013: don't raise socket error when selected mailbox deleted.
I'm checking this in without a test because not much of this code
is tested and I don't have time to work up the necessary extensions
to the existing test framework.
The patch itself was tested by the person who reported the bug.

+- Issue #20013: Some imap servers disconnect if the current mailbox is
+ deleted, and imaplib did not handle that case gracefully. Now it
+ handles the 'bye' correctly.

 - Issue #20426: When passing the re.DEBUG flag, re.compile() displays the
 debug output every time it is called, regardless of the compilation cache.
