gnu: sendgmail: Don't limit domain name of sender.
There are three open pull requests adding this functionality:

  - https://github.com/google/gmail-oauth2-tools/pull/17 (October 2019)
  - https://github.com/google/gmail-oauth2-tools/pull/26 (May 2020)
  - https://github.com/google/gmail-oauth2-tools/pull/37 (May 2021)
    (The patch here is identical to #26, so I just closed this one.)

Meanwhile, the most recent commit to the upstream repository was in
May 2019: that was the commit that first added `sendgmail`.

This commit adjusts Guix's `sendgmail`, following Postel's advice,
to make the command "liberal in its receiving behavior" (RFC 760):
it always accepts email addresses with any domain name, as in #26,
and it accepts (and ignores) the `-gsuite` flag used in #17.

* gnu/packages/patches/sendgmail-remove-domain-restriction.patch:
New file. This is the patch from #26.
* gnu/packages/patches/sendgmail-accept-ignored-gsuite-flag.patch:
New file, based on #17.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add the new patches.
* gnu/packages/mail.scm (sendgmail)[source]: Apply the new patches.
Increment the "revision" argument to `git-version` from 0 to 1.
