Subject: [PATCH 09/19] cache time when sidebar last counted all the mails

This introduces a member `sb_last_checked' to the BUFFY struct. It will
be set by `mh_buffy_update', `buffy_maildir_update' and
`buffy_mbox_update' when they count all the mails.

Mboxes only: `buffy_mbox_update' will not be run unless the condition
"sb_last_checked > mtime of the file" holds. This solves a huge
performance penalty you obtain with big mailboxes. The `mx_open_mailbox'
call with the M_PEEK flag will *reset* mtime and atime to the values
from before. Thus, you cannot rely on "mtime > atime" to check whether
or not to count new mail.

NOTE: There might be ways to optimize MH and Maildir access, too. I'm
not familiar with the formats, though.
