Move SMTP auth setup to ConfigLoad()

This has several benefits:
- Configuration errors are caught at startup rather than upon a connection
- mailHandler() has less work to do for each connection

Rather than relying on remote_user and remote_pass to control whether
authentication is used, introduce an explicit "none" type for
remote_auth, and make that the default. (This is effectively the same
default behavior since remote_user and remote_pass default to empty.)

Also, we are in a better position to more thoroughly check for
configuration errors or mismatches:
- If remote_auth is given, remote_user and remote_pass are required.
- If remote_auth is given, remote_host is also required (because it
  makes no sense to say we're going to authenticate if we have no server
  to which to authenticate.)
- If remote_user or remote_pass are given, remote_auth cannot be "none".
