mail/isync: improve an error message
Hi,
On a couple of occasions now I've wasted time deciphering this error message
from `mbsync`:
```
IMAP error: selected SASL mechanism(s) not available;
selected: XOAUTH2
available: SCRAM-SHA-512 SCRAM-SHA-384 SCRAM-SHA-256 SCRAM-SHA-224 SCRAM-SHA-1 DIGEST-MD5 EXTERNAL OTP CRAM-MD5 NTLM LOGIN PLAIN ANONYMOUS
```
In my case it's because I don't have the cyrus-sasl-xoauth2 package installed,
but that's not very obvious for a user.
This patch improves the error message with a hint that I hope will save others
(and my future self) some time.
If we like this, I can try an upstream it.
OK?
