Scope & Purpose

This is a client tools change only. We now allow in all Client tools to authenticate with a JWT token. You can get a valid JWT token from ArangoDB server by using _open/auth endpoint https://docs.arangodb.com/3.12/develop/http-api/authentication/#create-a-jwt-session-token

please note that you will need to implement that logic in a way that the connection cache works with it.
Arangosh can keep several similar connections with different authentifications. On re-engaging it, everything needs to be restored.
