bitbake: hashserv: Add user permissions

Adds support for the hashserver to have per-user permissions. User
management is done via a new "auth" RPC API where a client can
authenticate itself with the server using a randomly generated token.
The user can then be given permissions to read, report, manage the
database, or manage other users.

In addition to explicit user logins, the server supports anonymous users
which is what all users start as before they make the "auth" RPC call.
Anonymous users can be assigned a set of permissions by the server,
making it unnecessary for users to authenticate to use the server. The
set of Anonymous permissions defines the default behavior of the server,
for example if set to "@read", Anonymous users are unable to report
equivalent hashes with authenticating. Similarly, setting the Anonymous
permissions to "@none" would require authentication for users to perform
any action.

User creation and management is entirely manual (although
bitbake-hashclient is very useful as a front end). There are many
different mechanisms that could be implemented to allow user
self-registration (e.g. OAuth, LDAP, etc.), and implementing these is
outside the scope of the server. Instead, it is recommended to
implement a registration service that validates users against the
necessary service, then adds them as a user in the hash equivalence
server.
