Authentication and authorization

[mikehaller]

I'd like to authenticate to the Kuksa databroker using tokens.
Is there any documentation or example available?

Authentication was added with the linked PR.

The JsonWebToken can (optionally) be provided to the DataBrokerConnector of the SDK.

val jsonWebToken = JsonWebToken("someValidJwt") 
val connector = DataBrokerConnector(managedChannel, jsonWebToken)

However, it can also be removed / replaced during an active Connection by simply setting a new one in the DataBrokerConnection:

val newJsonWebToken = JsonWebToken("someValidJwt") 
dataBrokerConnection.jsonWebToken = newJsonWebToken

Samples, documentation etc was adapted
