Update Gmail mailer configuration (#22291)

This PR updates the `[mailer]` configuration snippet for Gmail:

- The `HELO_HOSTNAME` isn't required.
- The `USER` must not include the @gmail domain.
- `HOST` needs to be supplied, and the SMTP port number needs to be
appended to the URL.

I also added a note about the requirement to use App passwords instead
of your Google account password directly.

@ -76,12 +76,15 @@ The following configuration should work with GMail's SMTP server:
```ini
[mailer]
ENABLED = true
HOST = smtp.gmail.com:465 ; Remove this line for Gitea >= 1.18.0
SMTP_ADDR = smtp.gmail.com
SMTP_PORT = 465
FROM = example@gmail.com
USER = example@gmail.com
FROM = example.user@gmail.com
USER = example.user
PASSWD = ***
MAILER_TYPE = smtp
IS_TLS_ENABLED = true
HELO_HOSTNAME = example.com
```
Note that you'll need to create and use an [App password](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en) by enabling 2FA on your Google
account. You won't be able to use your Google account password directly.
