[issue26543] imaplib noop Debug

New submission from Stephen Evans:

With the imaplib.Debug=3 (or greater) imaplib.noop() will crash if there are any untagged responses present.

The _dump_ur() function has not been converted to expect bytes in the lambda variable x[1]. An abbreviate example of the 'dict' parameter would be:

{'READ-WRITE': [b''], 'FETCH': [b'1 (FLAGS (\\Recent NonJunk))']}

This _dump_ur() function needs converting to Python 3.x, say, change the map/lambda line to:
  l = map(lambda x:'%s: %r' % (x[0], x[1]), l)


A sample crash inducing session produced by the attached file (using another email client to produce untagged responses for NOOP):

  20:01.23 imaplib version 2.58
  20:01.23 new IMAP4 connection, tag=b'LMHB'
  20:01.48 CAPABILITIES: ('IMAP4REV1', 'LITERAL+', 'SASL-IR', 'LOGIN-REFERRALS', 'ID', 'ENABLE', 'IDLE', 'NAMESPACE', 'AUTH=PLAIN', 'AUTH=LOGIN')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:/temp/imap-idle/imaplib-noop.py", line 18, in <module>
    connection.noop()  # Crashes here.

    self._mesg('untagged responses dump:%s%s' % (t, t.join(l)))

    l = map(lambda x:'%s: "%s"' % (x[0], x[1][0] and '" "'.join(x[1]) or ''), l)
TypeError: sequence item 0: expected str instance, bytes found
