Enable email event notifications

Overview
StackState can send an event notification by email whenever the health state of an entity or view changes. To enable email event notifications, the StackState configuration must include details of the SMTP server to use.

           email {
             properties {
               "mail.smtp.auth" = "true"   # "true" when user/pass provided   
               "mail.smtp.starttls.enable" = "false"   # use "true" for TLS
             }
             sender = "<EMAIL_SENDER_ADDRESS>"
             server {
               protocol = "smtp"
               host =  "<SMTP_SERVER_HOST>"
               port = 25
               username = "XXX"      # optional
               password = "XXX"      # optional
