git-send-email.txt: mention less secure app access with Gmail

Google may have changed Gmail security and now less secure app access
needs to be explicitly enabled if two-factor authentication is not in
place, otherwise send-email fails with:

5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at
5.7.8  https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials

Document steps required to make this work.
