imap uris (in localstore.rdf) are not properly escaped

create a folder on an imap account with a space, and do the same on a local 
account.  then, give those folders children folders and expand them.  (expanded 
state shows up in localstore.rdf)

when you look at your localstore.rdf after quitting, you'll see something like 
this:

    <NC:persist resource="imap://sspitzer@nsmail-1.mcom.com/Foo And Cheese"/>
    <NC:persist resource="mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Beer%20and%20Wine"/>

uri's should be in escaped UTF-8.  the local case is right, imap is wrong.

I'm not sure where (or if) this is causing us problems.

but putting it on the radar to investigate.
I'm also worried that we might not be properly escaping the uri internally.

just getting this down into bugzilla for investigation later.

This seems to still exist, but the paths are in the file folderTree.json (for TB).
