Add token authentification

Because of recent issues with credentials (people changing credentials), we've add a token authentification method using a third-server token dispenser:

  • the server https://token.matlink.fr/token/email/gplaycliacc@gmail.com provides tokens from gplaycliacc@gmail.com account without requiring to have the account password
  • credentials.conf now supports 2 more options: token and token_url
  • if token=True and token_url=<token_dispenser_url> then gplaycli will use the token authentification instead of credentials. It will request the token_url a token to use for further communications with google play store
  • if you don't want to use the config file, you can use --token (doesn't need value) and --token-url <token_dispenser_url>

Pros:

  • don't need to bother with credentials anymore
  • nobody will be able to change the password

Cons:

  • the third party server (handled by myself for the default one) will be aware of who is using its credentials (privacy issues)

I give you the choice, it's up to you.
