Log message:
fetchmail*: update to 6.5.4

fetchmail-6.5.4 (released 2025-06-17, 31208 LoC):

## BUGFIXES:
* socket: avoid crash when writing to a socket without SSL/TLS fails.
  Reported by Andrea Venturoli via mailing list, fixes #71.
* wolfSSL support: avoid fetchmail.c compilation failure in certain
  configurations of wolfSSL (for instance, on FreeBSD's wolfssl-5.8.0_1
  package), OpenSSL_version enables a newer 1.1.x compat API that passes its
  argument to a wolfSSL API, with OPENSSL_DIR and OPENSSL_ENGINES_DIR, causing
  related compiler failures.
  See <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=287435>.

fetchmail-6.5.3 (released 2025-06-10, 31204 LoC):

## BUGFIXES:
* IMAP: Reinstate workaround for missing IDLE support if --idle is requested.
  This had been a long-standing feature but got broken in fetchmail 6.4.22
  (commit 616e8c70).  Thanks to Lukáš Tesař for the detailed report including
  a Git bisect that identified this faulty commit.  Fixes Gitlab issue #69.
* IMAP: Only print 'will idle after poll' if --idle is enabled
  and either offered by the server, or forced through --forceidle.
  This fixes a regression introduced in fetchmail 6.4.22 (commit 616e8c70).
