Idempotent CREATE and DELETE

Dennis Schridde requested to merge dschridde/kimap:ds/bug423672/alreadyexists-is-not-an-error into master

If CREATE fails with an ALREADYEXISTS response code, that is not an error since the intended result (the object existing at the target location) has been achieved.

Likewise, if DELETE fails with an NONEXISTENT response code, that is not an error since the intended result (the object being gone from the target location) has been achieved.

Please note that for RENAME response code ALREADYEXISTS is an error since the content of the source folder was not moved as intended.
