Sidebar indent and shortpath behavior for 1.13.1

[Kevin J. McCarthy]

TL;DR: I'm going to release 1.13.1 in the next week or so, with a couple 
new sidebar config variables to allow reverting to pre-1.13.0 behavior, 
and wanted to get some feedback first.

One of the changes in 1.13.0 was to the display of mailboxes in the 
sidebar.  Shortening and indentation were changed to look at *previous* 
entries in the sidebar, instead of always truncating to the final part 
or indenting only with respect to $folder.  Also, the sidebar was 
changed to use standard mailbox "prettifying" code, displaying mailbox 
shortcuts prefixes '=' and '~'.

I pretty quickly got feedback that these changes weren't okay with 
everyone, asking where the config variables were to revert.  :-) So I'm 
planning to roll out a stable release with the following two variables.

$sidebar_use_mb_shortcuts (in branch stable), default *set*, toggles the 
use of mailbox shortcuts.  Unsetting uses the old $folder string prefix 
matching code, which is a bit less accurate (w.r.t. imap), and will not 
display shortcuts.

$sidebar_relative_shortpath_indent (currently in branch 
kevin/sidebar-relative-sp-indent), default *unset*, toggles the new/old 
indentation and shortpath behavior.

If you have any feedback, for example about the name choices, or 
anything else, please feel free to reply.  Thank you!
