refactor(maildir): extract freshMaildirName for reuse, item 123
DraftStore needs the same filename generation moveMessages() already has, and duplicating it would duplicate a correctness property rather than a convenience: the comment records that carrying mbsync's ,U= infix across a folder boundary produced 'Maildir error: duplicate UID' on real mail. A pure move with no behaviour change, committed on its own so a bisect can tell it apart from the feature that needed it. The function gains its own tests, including the UID-infix case that previously had none.
