Allow to use nicer UI names 

The previous ui names were pretty unwieldy. Is it TTYUI.TTY or
TTY.TTYUI? Do I have to use capitals and where?

Simplify the names by making them case insensitive and by dropping
everything before the dot.

So "Curses.Blinkenlights" can now be invoked as "blinkenlights" or
"BLINKENLIGHTS". The old names will still work just fine so the
transition should be smooth. We issue a warning that the long names are
deprecated.

Document in offlineimap.conf that we don't accept lists of fallback UIs,
but only one UI option (this was already the case before this commit but
still wrongly documented).

The list of accepted ui names is:
  ttyui (default), basic, quiet, machineui, blinkenlights
