First of all, let's get rid of `TOKEN_NOT_FOUND_HTTP_STATUS`. It was a hack we did at one point when it was possible to return either a 403 or a 401 if the creds were missing. We always return a 401 in these cases now (thankfully), so it's not needed. Let's also stop abusing `AuthError` for these cases. Honestly they have nothing that relates them to the other places that `AuthError` is used, other than the fact that they are loosely under the 'Auth' banner. It makes no sense for them to share exception classes. Instead, let's add a couple of new exception classes: `InvalidClientTokenError` and `MissingClientTokenError`, for the `M_UNKNOWN_TOKEN` and `M_MISSING_TOKEN` cases respectively - and an `InvalidClientCredentialsError` base class for the two of them.

Looks fine. My only concern is bits around returning why the token failed, although if the macaroon is already validated, I'm guessing it can't be used for a user ID enumeration attack? |

Yes, this. I don't believe this PR is introducing any new information where we weren't before, and as noted, I don't believe you can mount an enumeration attack without being able to forge macaroons, in which case we've already lost. |
