master b058cac: nnimap MODSEQ cleanup

[Paul Eggert]

branch: master
commit b058caca72d123b6a21912f1a3b3e43490f05c9c
Author: Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Commit: Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

    nnimap MODSEQ cleanup
    
    * lisp/gnus/nnimap.el (nnimap-parse-flags):
    Remove old hack that deletes MODSEQ entries in the buffer, as
    Emacs now has bignums and so won't misparse MODSEQs (Bug#38938).
