patch for non-password auth errors

I've recently started using DavMail to interface with an Exchange server via
EWS, and the EWS server is a little flaky. So sometimes I get "EWS end point
not available". This causes the same issue as the connect attempt failure - I
get prompted for my password on the next attempt.  This happens much more
frequently than the previous error, which finally drove me to fix it.

The attached patch adds a hardcoded list of string which are compared against
the ERR string during authentication. If the error matches a string in the
list, the error code is changed from PS_AUTHFAIL to PS_ERROR. The error is
logged, but the user will not be prompted for their password on the next
connection attempt.

Patch is against 3.8.0.
