The email configuration of Airflow became somwhat hybrid - part
of the configuration is in the config file and part (authentication)
in connection. However there is no dedicated connection type to
use for email, and user got confused - they did not realize they
could use any connection, and this was really not intuitive.
This PR adds email connection type as built-in and updates the
documentation of email configuration to use that connection
type for smtp/sendgrid (and use the aws one for aws email)
Fixes: #18495
