CVE-2021-3578: fix handling of unexpected APPENDUID response code

if the code was sent in response to anything but a STORE, we'd overwrite
a data pointer in one of our imap_cmd subclasses, an allocator data
structure, or the start of the next allocation, with an int that was
completely under the server's control. it's plausible that this could be
exploited for remote code execution.

to avoid this, we could ensure that the object is of the right type
prior to casting, by using a new flag in the parameter block. but it's
easier to just dispose of the out_uid field altogether and reuse the uid
field that is present in the parameter block anyway, but was used only
for FETCH commands so far.

this problem was found by Lukas Braun <koomi@moshbit.net> using a
fuzzer.
