Yay! I'm glad someone proposed this, as it was in my
"feature-request" queue for some time, but I've said better to wait
and also propose a patch. :)
Actually what would have been even better was something like this:
* for `LOGIN` based authentication, indeed `mbsync` should be able
to request the password via a command;
* but for other authentication types (like `X-OAUTH` in case of
Gmail) it could have delegated the SASL "dance" to an external
command;
