Support imaps with oauthbearer authentication (Gmail)
    imaps+oauthbearer://user:token@host?token_endpoint=...

 - the config Source password is used as access token if
   no token_endpoint parameter is set
 - the config Source password is used as refresh token if
   token_endpoint parameter is set, and used to exchange
   with an access token

The implementation has only been tested with Gmail.

    source = imaps+oauthbearer://{username}:{refersh_token}@imap.gmail.com:993? \
    client_id=XX&\
    client_secret=XX&\
    token_endpoint=https%3A%2F%2Faccounts.google.com%2Fo%2Foauth2%2Ftoken

client credentials created with

refresh token created with
