fetchmail.c: Fix SIGSEGV optmerge()ing "no envelope"
Reported by Bjørn Mork, fixes Debian Bug#992400. Crash happens inside xstrdup() on a strlen((char *)-1) where the argument is constant and the trigger is a local trusted configuration file, so not deemed a vulnerability.

* Fetchmail no longer leaks memory when processing the arguments of --plugin or
--plugout on connections.
* On POP3 connections, the CAPAbilities parser is now caseblind.

* IMAP: When fetchmail is in not-authenticated state and the server volunteers
