imap: Provide method to disable SASL if it is advertised

- Implement AUTH=+LOGIN for CURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS to prefer plaintext
  LOGIN over SASL auth.

Prior to this change there was no method to be able to fall back to
LOGIN if an IMAP server advertises SASL capabilities. However, this may
be desirable for e.g. a misconfigured server.

Per: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5092.html#section-3.2

";AUTH=<enc-auth-type>" looks to be the correct way to specify what
authenication method to use, regardless of SASL or not.

Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/10041

used during authentication. At present only IMAP, POP3 and SMTP support
login options. For more information about login options please see RFC
2384, RFC 5092 and IETF draft draft-earhart-url-smtp-00.txt
Since 8.2.0, IMAP supports the login option "AUTH=+LOGIN". With this option,
curl uses the plain (not SASL) LOGIN IMAP command even if the server advertises
SASL authentication. Care should be taken in using this option, as it will send
out your password in plain text. This will not work if the IMAP server disables
the plain LOGIN (e.g. to prevent password snooping).

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
option.
