This already works actually as long as the namespace isn't hidden. But
looks like the logic was a bit strange for hidden namespaces. Now the
hidden namespaces are ignored completely when looking for the root
namespace.

Fixed.

I think UW-IMAP returns this because ~/ is a namespace. But it also has
this weird behavior:

x LIST foo/bar ""
* LIST (\Noselect) "/" "foo/"

Using the same logic ~/mail/ also gets truncated to ~/. And now that
Dovecot is ignoring the hidden namespaces, it fallbacks to looking ""
namespace with ~/mail/ parameter, and ~/ is returned.
