Nextcloud 29 support

[prismopensource]

Since Nextcloud 29 is already on beta 4 at the moment we would like to request Nextcloud 29 compatibility. Releases for user_external are already far apart and there still isn't a version that supports the current Nextcloud 28 at the moment so maybe we could combine the upcoming release with Nextcloud 29 compatibility?

29.0.0 just released: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/releases/tag/v29.0.0

@violoncelloCH any idea how we can accelerate the process to get this compatible with the latest Nextcloud version? It seems your app is mentioned again in the official documentation for Nextcloud 29.

Have any of you tried force enabling the app and ran into any problems?

it now isn't anymore, see: nextcloud/documentation#11828

You can just force enable the app, there is nothing particular in this app, so as long as the few Nextcloud server APIs user_external is using did not change, this will still work. However due to my workload related to university I currently do not have the time to properly test and confidently create a release, sorry.

If someone wants to help testing (and ideally write some proper automated tests for this app; something I wanted to do since a bunch of time but never found the time to), this would help of course :)

The problem with testing it is probably that everyone is using one maybe two of the offered mechanism. I would be curious which mechanisms are actually used.

And with automating it you would have to provide proper mocking with unit tests or a stable backend for each technology during the runtime of the test. Which might be something you could try in a github workflow but this means you would have e.g. a IMAP server online with a user and password, in theory even with the different connection mechanisms if you want to be thorough.

I tested Nextcloud 29.0.1 with IMAP authentication without issue.
