    Review Board 2.1+ supports authenticating using API tokens. This change
    adds a new --api-token= parameter for commands to make use of these when
    authenticating.

    Since authentication happens before accessing resources, we can't really
    check for a capability before deciding whether or not to allow a user to
    pass a token. Passing a token to a server that doesn't support it is
    harmless, though.

    Tested this with different policies, including Full Access, Read-Only, and
    custom policies. I used rbt api-get, rbt post, rbt close, rbt status,
    and rbt diff.

    I tried posting this change using a read-only API token, and got an error about
    not having permission. I then tried with my full access token, and it succeeded.
