git-imap-send.txt: do verify SSL certificate for gmail.com
As a public service, it is unlikely that the Gmail server is configured to throw a certificate that does not verify at the user. Remove the `sslVerify=false` config from the Gmail example. Also, comment it in the `example.com` example, and add a note to the user explaining that they might want to uncomment it if they are having trouble connecting. While at it, use an Asciidoc 'Note' section in the Gmail example also.
