Restore nnimap-split-download-body as a customization option
* lisp/gnus/nnimap.el (nnimap-split-download-body): And add an obsolete alias for `nnimap-split-download-body-default'. (nnimap-fetch-inbox): Check the value of the option, not the variable. * doc/misc/gnus.texi (Client-Side IMAP Splitting): Move the primary documentation of this option to this section.
