mbsync: channel compatibility with previous iteration of mbsync

The previous version of mbsync used a single channel for an entire
account. This leads to issues when trying to change the mailbox
hierarchy on the local machine. The problem with this is that some
email providers (Gmail, among others) use a slightly different maildir
hierarchy, where the standard mailboxes (Inbox, Drafts, Trash, etc.)
are stored inside another directory (`[Gmail]/` in the case of Gmail).

This new version allows the user to specify any number of groups with
any number of channels within to reorder their mail however they wish.

However, to maintain backwards compatibility, I moved the original
channel-generating code to a function that will run ONLY when
there are no groups specified for THIS account.
