✨(backend) introduce a token exchange endpoint for iframe embeds
Some integrators render our videoconference inside an iframe, where our cookie-based authentication does not work: our cookies are SameSite=Lax/Strict, so the iframe drops them. We looked at what Jitsi offers: a shared secret used to sign JWTs that authenticate users coming from external services. Since we already expose an external API where third parties authenticate as a given user, it was simpler for us to add an exchange mechanism on top of that. Flow: * Through the external API, mint a short-lived, single-use exchange code for a user. * The third party hands that code to the frontend as a URL fragment. * The frontend exchanges the code for a longer-lived JWT that can be used to query the regular API viewsets. Known limitations and follow-ups: * At some point it would be nice to shorten the JWT lifetime and add a refresh mechanism. This will be handled in a follow-up PR when actually needed. * CSP rules to control which origins are allowed to embed the app in an iframe still need to be added. * This alternative authentication cannot easily be scoped to a subset of endpoints without adding a lot of complexity, so it is accepted globally on the API for now.
