Basic auth with password to be deprecated - start using API tokens

See: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/deprecation-notice-basic-auth-and-cookie-based-auth/

As of March 15, 2018, in accordance to the Atlassian REST API Policy, support for passwords in HTTP basic auth requests will no longer be supported on or after September 15, 2018.

Instead of passwords, you should start using API tokens.

It seems like there is no code change required to support this. You can just supply the generated API token as the password, and it should still work. Maybe close this issue, so it doesn't appear like the library needs an enhancement to keep working?

Would be nice if you could update the docs to show that as most people will think you gem is not supported anymore.
