Theoretical flag description was taken from
/sys/src/cmd/upas/common/common.h:13,21 . "Theoretical" because
nedmail doesn't seem to really work with most of them or use them in
other ways. Feel free to adjust if you know more.

should we document flags that don’t work?

they exist partly in the 'help' cmd from nedmail and are
part of the common upas src.
I just intended to give them any meaning since I was always
wondering what they mean. Otherwise I could perhaps adjust
some nedmail code to not mention stuff that doesn't work or
exists atm.

And some flags ('d' for delete and 's' for stored)
seem to work from my experience.
But they are weirdly enough not matching the
/sys/src/cmd/upas/common/common.h:13,21 spec.
(D is deleted, while d is draft etc.)
Nothing of major importance I guess. Feel free
to just leave the flag information away. I mainly
care about the missing commands.

I adjusted the descriptions to point to upasfs(4) if appropiate.
Flags from upasfs are already described there.
The new flag section is specific to nedmail and should cover
everything that works atm. If you know more, feel free to append.
