Support for "less secure apps" ended May 30, 2022.
This effectively reverts 155067a (git-send-email.txt: mention less secure
app access with Gmail, 2021-01-08).

This seems reasonable and correct. I remember reading that Google will
likely require 2FA for all users in the future, so at some point, we may
end up removing the "If you have multi-factor authentication…" clause as
well.

Half a year has passed and this patch is still relevant, yet (as far
as I can tell) not applied.
