Fix: IMAP over SSL connected without TLS; never lose a sent message's copy

v1.3.26's IMAP4_SSL subclass put its create_client ahead of aioimaplib's,
which is where the TLS context is made — so port 993 got plain TCP, the
server waited for a handshake, and every SSL account timed out ("Can't
reach the mail server"). The context is now made in our create_client too,
and a test checks an SSL client really gets one (it fails without the fix).

With IMAP down, a send could still be delivered by SMTP while filing its copy
in Sent failed — the send then counted as done and the copy was lost. The
copy is now kept and filed by file_sent_copy_job, retried (arq Retry) for
about 24 hours, then shown in Sent as usual.
