fix: check UIDNEXT with a STATUS command before going IDLE

This prevents accidentally going IDLE
when the last new message has arrived
while the folder was closed.
For example, this happened in some tests:
1. INBOX is selected to fetch, move and delete messages.
2. One of the messages is deleted.
3. INBOX is closed to expunge the message.
4. A new message arrives.
5. INBOX is selected with (CONDSTORE) to sync flags.
6. Delta Chat goes into IDLE without downloading the new message.

To determine that a new message has arrived
we need to notice that UIDNEXT has advanced when selecting the folder.
However, some servers such as Winmail Pro Mail Server 5.1.0616
do not return UIDNEXT in response to SELECT command.

To avoid interdependencies with the code
SELECTing the folder and having to implement
STATUS fallback after each SELECT even when we
may not want to go IDLE due to interrupt or unsolicited EXISTS,
we simply call STATUS unconditionally before IDLE.
