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. Clarify that regular passwords do not work for Gmail and app-passwords are the only way for basic authentication. Also encourage users to use OAuth2.0 as a more secure alternative. While at it, also prefer using the word "mechanism" over "method" for `OAUTHBEARER` and `XOAUTH2` since that is what official docs use.
