pop3: Fixed the issue of having to supply the user name for all requests 

Previously it wasn't possible to connect to POP3 and not specify the
user name as a CURLE_ACCESS_DENIED error would be returned. This error
occurred because USER would be sent to the server with a blank user name
if no mailbox user was specified as the server would reply with -ERR.

This wasn't a problem prior to the 7.26.0 release but with the
introduction of custom commands the user and/or application developer
might want to issue a CAPA command without having to log in as a
specific mailbox user.

Additionally this fix won't send the newly introduced AUTH command if no
user name is specified.
