Hi all
This series of patches mainly has two changes:
1. Improve the checks for valid_fqdn in send-email to be more strict and
   compliant with RFC1035.
2. Update the documentation for send-email to include examples of using
   OAuth2.0 with Gmail and Outlook, as well as links to the credential
   helpers for these services.

P.S. I have used `git-credential-outlook` linked in the second and third patch for this email!

v2: - Improve grammar and add missing "" in second patch.
    - Separate footnotes and the trailer block with a blank line in the first
      patch.
v3: - Change link for email helpers since old one was too long.
v4: - Improve log message of first and second patch.
    - Update valid_fqdn check in first patch to allow one or more <upto 63
      octet run of alnum or hyphen that does not begin or end with hyphen>,
      separated by a single dot in between each.
    - Revert the documentation regarding sending patches to a mailing list
      in the second patch.
v5: - Simplify the regex in the first patch to check for valid FQDN.
    - Fix formatting in the second patch to make it more readable.
