docs: make the purpose of using app password for Gmail more clear in send-email
The current example for Gmail suggests using app passwords for
send-email if user has multi-factor authentication set up for their
account. However, it does not clarify that the user cannot use their
normal password in case they do not have multi-factor authentication
enabled. Most likely the example was written in the days when Google
allowed using normal passwords without multi-factor authentication.
This commit clarifies that app passwords are required and suggests using
OAuth2 if the user does not want to enable multi-factor authentication.
