Summary: imaplib.IMAP4.select doesn't return critical data

Initial Comment:
The .select() method of IMAP4 objects  returns the
EXISTS data, but not the more-critical UIDVALIDITY
data.  Without UIDVALIDITY, the UID command is useless.

I have a patch, but it changes the API of the .select()
method, so it's unlikely to go into mainline -- and
select() also fails to return two other data items from
the SELECT command (FLAGS and RECENT).
