Bug description:  [IMAP] Implement c-client's nntp_mail

Hi!

Currently the imap_* functions do not have any way to post a article to a
newsgroup/NNTP stream even though the library supports reading NNTP groups
and is quite good at it.  

The UW c-client library (on which the php imap_* functions are based)
provides a function for this called nntp_mail, documentation of which can
be found at:
http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/internal.txt.html)

The specific reference is:

--- SNIP
long nntp_mail (NNTPSTREAM *stream,ENVELOPE *msg,BODY *body);
        stream  stream to transmit mail
        msg     message envelope
        body    message body

      This function negotiates an NNTP posting transaction to deliver the
specified news message.  This function returns T if success or NIL if
there is any failure.  The text reason for the failure is in stream->reply
item; if it is associated with a recipient it is also in that address'
address->error item.
--- PINS

I humbly ask that this function be implemented.  Currently the only way to
post is by fsockopen()'ing a connection to the news server which is
contradictory to using the imap_* functions in the first place.

Thanks!
