Update imapstorage.txt documentation.
Updated the imapstorage.txt documentation to reflect that issues with c-client versions older than 2007 seem to cause crashing issues that are not seen with more recent versions. Documentation has been updated to reflect this.

+Asterisk supports the 2007 version of c-client as there appears to be issues

Note that Asterisk only uses the 'client' portion of the UW IMAP toolkit,
but building it also builds an IMAP server and various other utilities.
