This reverts commit 20f7fa691b7c2859b96550d9ccb326bf394e160d.

gnus-set-difference is orders of magnitude faster than seq-difference
(on these sets), and using seq-difference makes nnimap too
slow.

of seq-difference.  Update callers.

favor of seq-intersection.  Update all callers.

function alias for seq-intersection.  Update callers.
