lebaudantoine fcb7087f4d (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.
