🗑️ Add deprecation warnings to .new and #starttls [🚧 WIP]

* `ssl` was renamed to `tls` in most places, with backwards compatible
  aliases.  Using `ssl` does not print any deprecation warnings.  Using
  both `tls` and `ssl` keywords raises an ArgumentError.

* Preparing for a (backwards-incompatible) secure-by-default
  configuration, `Net::IMAP.default_tls` will determine the value for
  `tls` when no explicit port or tls setting is provided.  Using port
  143 will be insecure by default.  Using port 993 will be secure by
  default.  Providing no explicit port will use `Net::IMAP.default_tls`
  with the appropriate port.  And providing any other unknown port will
  use `default_tls` with a warning.

  🚧 TODO: should we use a different config var for default tls params
  when port is 993 and `tls` is unspecified?

  🚧 TODO: should we use a different config var for choosing `tls` when
  `port` is non-standard vs choosing `port` and `tls` when neither are
  specified?

  🚧 TODO: should we use a different var for `default_tls` be used to
  config params when port is 993 but tls is implicit? Another var?
