config: keep cache of resolved credential commands
outgoing-cred-cmd is used to retrieve the password from a password manager such as UNIX pass or bitwarden CLI. These tools often prompt for a passphrase to secure the passwords and it is annoying having to enter it every time sending an email with aerc. Add a new option outgoing-cred-cmd-cache (default to true) to control whether aerc will keep a cache of the password or run outgoing-cred-cmd every time an email needs to be sent. NB: If the cached password is incorrect, the only way to change it is to restart aerc. Fixes: ca9034385029 ("outgoing-cred-cmd: delay execution until an email needs to be sent") Signed-off-by: Robin Jarry <robin@jarry.cc> Acked-by: Moritz Poldrack <moritz@poldrack.dev>
