imap-send: move common code into function host_matches()
Move the ASN1_STRING access, the associated cast and the check for embedded NUL bytes into host_matches() to simplify both callers. Reformulate the NUL check using memchr() and add a comment to make it more obvious what it is about. Signed-off-by: Beat Bolli <dev+git@drbeat.li> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
