The problem

It would be nice if the Gmail connector included a type converter for String -> GmailMessageModel. This would allow non-Gmail-aware components/processors to work with Gmail connector OOTB by just setting a String as the message body. The converter should set the String body value to GmailSendEmailCustomizer.text.

Expected behavior

[!-- Describe what the desired behavior would be, enlistin gthe acceptance criteria. --]
Pass a string to the Gmail connector and have it used as the email text.
