Improve SMTP authentication and Fix user creation bugs (#16612)
* Improve SMTP authentication, Fix user creation bugs and add LDAP cert/key options This PR has two parts: Improvements for SMTP authentication: * Default to use SMTPS if port is 465, and allow setting of force SMTPS. * Always use STARTTLS if available * Provide CRAM-MD5 mechanism * Add options for HELO hostname disabling * Add options for providing certificates and keys * Handle application specific password response as a failed user login instead of as a 500. Close #16104 Fix creation of new users: * A bug was introduced when allowing users to change usernames which prevents the creation of external users. * The LoginSource refactor also broke this page. Close #16104 Signed-off-by: Andrew Thornton <art27@cantab.net>
