Token based access like jupyterlab

[csniper-patrick]

Is it possible to add a token based access method like jupyter, so that we can access the IDE directly by putting a long access token on the as a parameter in the url?
ie. Opening a code-server listening at port 3000, and somehow we set a token. let say abc123456
and then maybe https://code-server.somewhere.com:3000/?token=abc123456 will bring you directly to the IDE instead of the password page.

Thanks a lot!

@code-asher thoughts on this? Maybe something that would use our plugin API? See here: #4072

Yeah, this seems like a great candidate for the plugin API.
