Makes imaplib use more modern AUTHENTICATE verb rather than LOGIN. The immediate benefit is that now the credentials can be non-ASCII. In the future, it may be used to add other authentication methods, such as OAuth. References: * https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6855.html#page-5 * https://bugs.python.org/issue13700
