Summary: mailimap_extension_data_parse return value oddity

Initial Comment:
Looking in src/low-level/imap/mailimap_extension.c, the function mailimap_extension_data_parse() returns MAILIMAP_ERROR_PARSE if mailimap_extension_list == NULL, but returns MAILIMAP_NO_ERROR if, after iterating through the list, every single extension returns MAILIMAP_ERROR_PARSE. It seems very odd that this function returns different values based on whether or not any external extensions are registered.... even if none of the extensions are interested in handling the message! I suspect maybe the default return value at the bottom should also be MAILIMAP_ERROR_PARSE?
