Ignore "fts-flatcurve" folder #7439

Problem you are trying to solve

When using self hosted dovecot as imap provider and with the fts-flatcurve setup for server side searches, K-9 pulls in all these folders, which only contain indexing data and pollute the folders list.

Suggested solution

K-9 should ignore fts-flatcurve folders or allow ignoring folders based on a pattern (like mbsync does with ![pattern]).

There's a good chance your server is misconfigured if a directory containing index files is exposed via IMAP.

K-9 Mail already supports a (admittedly not great) way to hide folders. See https://docs.k9mail.app/en/6.400/settings/folder_classes/ (We'll eventually get rid of folder classes and make it easier to hide folders. See #2669.)

I don't see us adding a feature to hide folders matching a pattern.
