Switch to the official RFC citation format, as reported at each RFCs txt citation URL, e.g: https://www.rfc-editor.org/refs/ref9051.txt. Removed "EXT-" from any citations that were still using it, because that is how modern IMAP RFCs cite their references. Add links to relevant specifications for response data structs, without resorting to the full citation syntax. ---- This is closer to what the format had already been before I switched it up the last time (9cd562a). I believe the earlier format was simply copy/pasted from the references section of whichever RFC was being used at the time (e.g. 2060 or 3501). But the RFC citation format has changed since then, too. I'd previously changed it to be more "readable". But since then I've added links throughout the documentation of methods and data types, only occasionally needing a list of "see also" links. That approach works and satisfies my readability concerns. So our references list should just be a standard list of citations and it would be better to use the official citation format. To consider: should we move the references list to a REFERENCES.md file?

For simple ag/ack/rg/grep during development, I've added even more RFCs to the rake file.
Additionally, I updated and reformatted the "References" section... again. See my comments on 981ea30.
