I use dovecot with a broken IMAP server (which doesn't properly 
implement command pipelining amongst others) as an imapc backend.
Dovecot issues the above command sequence (SELECT and UID FETCH 
pipelined), which doesn't work with this server.

Therefore I'm requesting an imapc_features setting, 
IMAPC_FEATURE_NO_PIPELINING, which disables PIPELINING in dovecot imapc. 
Similarly to other workarounds, like 
IMAPC_FEATURE_FETCH_MSN_WORKAROUNDS, 
IMAPC_FEATURE_FETCH_FIX_BROKEN_MAILS et al.
