ops. As it stands, there seems to be a tiny performance
improvement, but more will be possible in the future.

imap: speed up HEADER.FIELDS[.NOT] range fetches
While we can't memoize the regexp forever like we do with other
Eml users, we can still benefit from caching regexp compilation
on a per-request basis.
A FETCH request from mutt on a 4K message inbox is around 8%
faster after this. Since regexp compilation via qr// isn't
unbearably slow, a shared cache probably isn't worth the
trouble of implementing. A per-request cache seems enough.

imap: simplify partial fetch structure
While the contents of normal %want hash keys are bounded in
size, %partial can cause more overhead and lead to repeated sort
calls on multi-message fetches. So sort it once and use
arrayrefs to make the data structure more compact.

imap: always include `resp-text' in responses
Mail::IMAPClient doesn't seem to mind the lack of `resp-text';
but it's required by RFC 3501. Preliminary tests with
offlineimap(1) indicates the presence of `resp-text' is
necessary, even if it's just the freeform `text'.
And make the `text' more consistent, favoring "done" over
"complete" or "completed"; while we're at it.

eml: each_part: single part $idx is 1
Instead of counts starting at 0, we start the single-part
message at 1 like we do with subparts of a multipart message.
This will make it easier to map offsets for "BODY[$SECTION]"
when using IMAP FETCH, since $SECTION must contain non-zero
numbers according to RFC 3501.
This doesn't make any difference for WWW URLs, since single part
messages cannot have downloadable attachments.
