Adding JWT Authentication Functionality

[pablodavidortega]

Overview

CouchDB allows JWT Token authentication. FauxtonUI however, does not have a way to leverage these tokens to access the server. This change allows users to use JWT tokens as a short-lived sign on token, similar to Vault's JWT Authentication pattern.

This is implemented with a drop-down which matches the ones currently in use across the UI. Basic Auth option is kept as the default, as seen below:

The JWT option is added as a secondary option:
