GMail: Add ability to set a custom host/port/ssl etc.

Browse Source 
The GMail repository added in 81b86fb has the restriction that you
can't override the host/port/ssl etc. There's no good reason for this,
and I'd like to use some of the defaults while connecting to GMail via
an stunnel, i.e.:

    $ grep -v -e ^# -e ^$ .stunnel.work-gmail-imap
    foreground = yes
    debug = info
    pid =
    [work-imap-gmail-ssl-tunnel]
    client = yes
    accept = 127.0.0.1:1431
    connect = imap.gmail.com:993
    delay = yes

And then in my .offlineimaprc:

    type = Gmail
    remotehost = localhost
    remoteport = 1431
    ssl = no

While I was at it I also allowed overriding all the other previously
hardcoded options, e.g. the "oauth2_request_url" can now be overridden
to e.g. a local non-https proxy to sniff & debug the traffic going
over the wire.

This doesn't break any existing configuration, since we still use the
provided defaults. It just allows odd uses like my own to use this
repository while e.g. not having to supply "trashfolder", "spamfolder"
& "oauth2_request_url". While I'm at it document in the
offlineimap.conf that we're setting those options to defaults in this
repository.
