Add auth keyword arg to start methods

This adds a new `auth` keyword param to `Net::SMTP.start` and `#start`
that can be used to pass any arbitrary keyword parameters to
`#authenticate`.  The pre-existing `username`, `secret`, etc keyword
params will retain their existing behavior as positional arguments to
`#authenticate`.
