  1. vcd-cli: login: Add login with API Access Token 

    Add support for authentication using API Access Tokens as described in
[Generate an API Access Token][1]. The authentication follows RFC6749
(OAuth 2.0). If the `user` argument of the login cli command is set to
"api_token" the `session-id` is interpreted as API Access Token. An
oAuth 2.0 authentication request is made to the token endpoint and the
access_token from the response is used as `session-id`. Furthermore, the
pyvcloud client's `rehydrate_from_token` function must be called with
the optional argument `is_jwt_token=True`.

API Access Token authentication is useful when vCloud Director is
configured to authenticate through an [external identity provider][2].
