Feature Description

Currently the username source for new oauth2 accounts is limited to userid, nickname and email as per the config cheat sheet. I would like to use any field in goth.User.RawData for the Gitea user's email and/or username.

I would like to:

Change the oauth2_client.USERNAME setting to take any value. If the value is not one of the current 3 options, use the value to get the username in RawData.
Add a oauth2_client.EMAIL setting with default value email that will be used to configure the email source. If the value is email, use goth.User.Email. Otherwise, use the value to get the email from RawData.

I can make a PR if accepted.
