Add a patch for imap/httpd.c

Cyrus IMAP provides several protocols to connect with: POP3, IMAP, HTTP.

While it has always been possible to authenticate through PAM with POP3 and
IMAP, this does not work with HTTP.

See https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/cyrus-devel/2015-April/003202.html
for details.


This patch allows PLAIN authentication with HTTP; as noted above, it would
break DIGEST AUTH, but this does not work anyway for us in the above scenario.
