Geary won't show message in message viewer until connected: Closes #5533

This fix requires a modification to the Geary.Folder contract, as now
the list and fetch operations will not wait for a connection to load
messages not locally stored.  (A ListFlag option may be needed later
to force this behavior.)  This also requires GearyController to reseed
the ConversationMonitor after the Folder is opened, otherwise no
messages will be loaded on an initial load of a folder.

This work exposed some smaller bugs, which are fixed here as well.
