Specify the login options to use during server authentication.

You can use login options to specify protocol specific options that may be
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).
