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.
