Add token authentication method for websocket browser clients

Closes #47967

Browser clients do not have the ability to set an `Authorization` header programatically on websocket requests. All they have control over is the URL and the websocket subprotocols sent (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebSocket)

This PR adds support for specifying a bearer token via a websocket subprotocol, with the format `base64url.bearer.authorization.k8s.io.<encoded-token>`

1. The client must specify at least one other subprotocol, since the server must echo a selected subprotocol back
2. `<encoded-token>` is `base64url-without-padding(token)`

This enables web consoles to use websocket-based APIs (like watch, exec, logs, etc) using bearer token authentication.

For example, to authenticate with the bearer token `mytoken`, the client could do:
```js
var ws = new WebSocket(
  "wss://<server>/api/v1/namespaces/myns/pods/mypod/logs?follow=true",
  [
    "base64url.bearer.authorization.k8s.io.bXl0b2tlbg",
    "base64.binary.k8s.io"
  ]
);
```

This results in the following headers:
```
Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: base64url.bearer.authorization.k8s.io.bXl0b2tlbg, base64.binary.k8s.io
```

Which this authenticator would recognize as the token `mytoken`, and if authentication succeeded, hand off to the rest of the API server with the headers
```
Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: base64.binary.k8s.io
```

Base64-encoding the token is required, since bearer tokens can contain characters a websocket protocol may not (`/` and `=`)

```release-note
Websocket requests may now authenticate to the API server by passing a bearer token in a websocket subprotocol of the form `base64url.bearer.authorization.k8s.io.<base64url-encoded-bearer-token>`
```

Kubernetes

Submit Queue Widget GoDoc Widget


Kubernetes is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts, providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications.

Kubernetes builds upon a decade and a half of experience at Google running production workloads at scale using a system called Borg, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.

Kubernetes is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). If you are a company that wants to help shape the evolution of technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically-scheduled and microservices-oriented, consider joining the CNCF. For details about who's involved and how Kubernetes plays a role, read the CNCF announcement.


To start using Kubernetes

See our documentation on kubernetes.io.

Try our interactive tutorial.

Take a free course on Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes.

To start developing Kubernetes

The community repository hosts all information about building Kubernetes from source, how to contribute code and documentation, who to contact about what, etc.

If you want to build Kubernetes right away there are two options:

You have a working Go environment.
$ go get -d k8s.io/kubernetes
$ cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/kubernetes
$ make
You have a working Docker environment.
$ git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
$ cd kubernetes
$ make quick-release

If you are less impatient, head over to the developer's documentation.

Support

If you need support, start with the troubleshooting guide and work your way through the process that we've outlined.

That said, if you have questions, reach out to us one way or another.
