add ability to script IMAP user query

It was already possible to retrieve passwords from arbitrary commands.
But this goes only half the way to allowing automated derivation of
login credentials, as some environments may also have different user
names based on the system. Therefore, add the UserCmd option to
complement PassCmd.

Based on a patch series by Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
