Summary: Relocating pidfile, FETCHMAILHOME, parallel

Details: I needed  to work around the lack of --password and also
fetch some things in parallel.

FETCHMAILHOME didn't seem to honor itself if set to an
empty writeable dir. [bug #1]

There was --pidfile, but it needed to be parallelizable to
avoid clobbering itself. By default it has no random part.
So --pidfile $(mktemp group1.pid.XXXXXX). [feat #1]

Looking to fix b#1 for others.
Note f#1 also applies to idfile, etc.
