move msmtp configuration out of tutorial, into an obscure section

## More obscure clients configuration
This section regroups email client configurations that might be a
little more exotic than commonly used software. The rule of thumb here
is that if there's a GUI to configure things, then it's not
obscure.
Also, if you know what an MTA is and are passionate about standards,
you're in the obscure category, and are welcomed to this dark corner
of the internet.
### msmtp configuration
"[msmtp](https://marlam.de/msmtp/) is an SMTP client" which "transmits a mail to an SMTP
server which takes care of further delivery". It is particularly
interesting because it supports SOCKS proxies, so you can use it to
send email over Tor.
