bug#59538: 29.0.50; Gnus setup broken by commit 2cf9e699ef0fc43a4eadaf00a1ed2f876765c64d

[João Távora]

Hi Maintainers,

Commit 2cf9e699ef0fc43a4eadaf00a1ed2f876765c64d breaks my Gnus setup.

    Make auth-source-pass behave more like other backends

I've reached this conclusion through 'git bisect'.  I.e. the commit which
immediately precedes it is not broken.

I haven't investigated why, but I do use 'pass' (www.passwordstore.org) to
  (require 'auth-source)
  (auth-source-pass-enable)
  (setq auth-sources '(password-store)) ;; don't use anything else

store my passwords securely.

This is my pass-related setup, which is pretty simple:

After the commit, M-x gnus is unable to connect to my local imap server.  There
is very little debug information.
