[PATCH pve-docs 1/1] notifications: Add section about OAuth2 to SMTP targets docs

[Arthur Bied-Charreton <a.bied-charreton@proxmox.com>]

Document the new config entries and the requirements to use XOAUTH2 for SMTP
notification targets, and add notes/warnings to communicate that:

1. User intervention is required for initial OAuth2 target setup, and

2. Microsoft OAuth2 apps *must not* be configured as SPAs by the user,
since it would prevent PVE from automatically extending the refresh
token's lifetime

+==== OAuth2 Authentication
+
+{pve} supports OAuth2 authentication for SMTP targets via the XOAUTH2
+mechanism. This is currently available for Google and Microsoft mail providers.
+
+===== Creating an OAuth2 Application
+
+Before configuring OAuth2 in {pve}, you must register an OAuth2 application
+with your mail provider:
+
+* https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/web-server[Google]
+* https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/quickstart-register-app[Microsoft Entra ID]
+
+Choose *Web application* as application type.
+
+During registration, add a redirect URI pointing to the {pve} web interface
+URL from which you will perform the authorization flow, for example:
+
+* `https://pve1.yourdomain.com:8006`
+* `https://localhost:8006`
+
+You can add multiple redirect URIs to allow the authorization flow to work from
+any cluster node.
+
+NOTE: Google does not allow bare IP addresses as redirect URIs. See
+<<notification_targets_smtp_oauth2_google,Google-specific setup>> below for a
+workaround.
+
+===== Configuring OAuth2 in {pve}
+
+In the web UI, open the notification target's edit panel and select
+`OAuth2 (Google)` or `OAuth2 (Microsoft)` as the authentication method. Fill in
+the client ID and secret. For Microsoft, also fill in the tenant ID.
+
+Click *Authenticate*. This opens a new window where you can sign in with your
+mail provider and grant the requested permissions. On success, a refresh token
+is obtained and stored.
+
+Token refresh happens automatically, at least once every 24 hours. If the token
+expires due to extended cluster downtime or is revoked, you will need to
+re-authenticate: open the notification target's edit panel, fill in your client
+secret, and click *Authenticate* again.
+
+NOTE: OAuth2 cannot be configured through direct configuration file editing. Use
+the web interface, or alternatively `pvesh`, to configure OAuth2 targets. Note
+that when using `pvesh`, you are responsible for providing the initial refresh
+token.
+
+----
+pvesh create /cluster/notifications/endpoints/smtp \
+    --name oauth2-smtp                             \
+    --server smtp.example.com                      \
+    --from-address from@example.com                \
+    --mailto-user root@pam                         \
+    --auth-method google-oauth2                    \
+    --oauth2-client-id <client ID>                 \
+    --oauth2-client-secret <client secret>         \
+    --oauth2-refresh-token <refresh token>
+----
+
+For Microsoft, use `--auth-method microsoft-oauth2` and add
+`--oauth2-tenant-id <tenant ID>`.
+
+[[notification_targets_smtp_oauth2_google]]
+===== Google
+
+Google does not allow bare IP addresses as redirect URIs. To work around this,
+add an entry to `/etc/hosts` *on the machine where your browser is running*,
+i.e., your local workstation.
+
+----
+# Replace <IP> with the IP address of your PVE node
+<IP> local.oauth2-redirect.com
+----
+
+You can now register `https://local.oauth2-redirect.com:8006` as a redirect
+URI in your Google OAuth2 application, and use that same URL in the browser
+when accessing the {pve} web interface to perform the authorization flow.
+
+[[notification_targets_smtp_oauth2_microsoft]]
+===== Microsoft
+
+WARNING: For Microsoft, the application must *not* be registered as a
+Single-Page Application (SPA). {pve} requires long-lived refresh tokens, and
+Microsoft does not allow extending the lifetime of refresh tokens granted for
+SPAs.
+
+Register your OAuth2 application as a standard *Web* application in the Entra
+admin center. In addition to the client ID and secret, you will also need the
+*tenant ID* from your application registration.
