Update Gmail mailer configuration (#22291) 

This PR updates the `[mailer]` configuration snippet for Gmail:

- The `HELO_HOSTNAME` isn't required.
- The `USER` must not include the @gmail domain.
- `HOST` needs to be supplied, and the SMTP port number needs to be
appended to the URL.

I also added a note about the requirement to use App passwords instead
of your Google account password directly.

Note that you'll need to create and use an [App password](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en) by enabling 2FA on your Google
account. You won't be able to use your Google account password directly.
