Allowing "/" in group names is important for nnimap users.

I wonder if something bad happens if somebody creates an nnml group
with "/" in its name?

Maybe the set of allowed characters could depend on the backend?  But
this is probably a major undertaking.  Especially given that `G m'
asks for the group name first, and only then for the server/backend.

Opinions?
