apps/app_voicemail: Fix crash with IMAP when streams are opened simultaneously

The UW IMAP library is instrinsically not thread-safe, and relies upon higher
level applications to guarantee thread safety. For the most part, this is
provided by the vms object, which provides locking for individual streams.
Unfortunately, this is not sufficient for calls to mail_open which create the
IMAP stream. mail_open can, on some systems, call into a UW IMAP specific
function for determining the address of a system based on a hostname,
ip_nametoaddr.

In the ip6_unix implementation of this function, static variables are used
to hold parsing buffers. This can cause a crash if multiple threads attempt
to convert a hostname to an address at the same time. Locking on a single
mail stream is not sufficient to prevent simultaneous access to these static
variables.

In the IMAP library, this function can be called from the mail_open and
imap_status functions. As the imap_status function is not used by
app_voicemail, locking on access to mail_open is sufficient to prevent
any mangling of the buffers.
