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.

[NOTE]
You may want to use `sslVerify=false`
while troubleshooting, if you suspect that the reason you are
having trouble connecting is because the certificate you use at
the private server `example.com` you are trying to set up (or
have set up) may not be verified correctly.

You might need to instead use: `folder = "[Google Mail]/Drafts"` if you get an error
that the "Folder doesn't exist".
