Add HEC tokens via API calls

This script is intended as an example of how to authenticate in Cribl Stream, and make a simple POST request to add a new HEC token.

Usage:

py_hec_token_mgr.py [-h] -l http://leader:port [-u USERNAME] [-t TOKEN] -a {add,modify} [-d DESC] -g GROUP -i INPUT [-p PASSWORD]

• the following arguments are required: -l/--leader, -a/--action, -g/--group, -i/--input
• if no password is supplied, you'll be prompted
• if you do not specify a token one will be generated for you
• currently the modify action does nothing

Requirements:

• Tested with python 3
• Requires the requests and secrets modules
