[client] KUDU-3472 C++ client API to import JWT
This patch addresses add C++ client API to specify a JWT for a newly
built C++ client instance. It's an improvement in the usability of the
Kudu client API since with this new extra method the users don't need
to mess with the serialization of the authn credentials.
The new functionality is covered by already existing tests that have
been updated to start using the new API. More tests might be added
to cover other aspects of the JWT-related functionality, but these
are not directly related to this API change, so we can take care of them
in a separate patch.

> Add methods to import/set JWT as a means of authentication in Kudu client API

>
> As of 2023-04-21 in the master branch of the git repository, Kudu allows
> clients to authenticate with servers server using [JWT|https://jwt.io/], JSON
> Web Tokens. However, a missing piece is a means to allow a Kudu client
> application to supply a JWT as its authentication credentials in an
> application-friendly way. The way [how it's done in recently added tests in

> isn't the way to go if thinking about usable client API.
> It's necessary to add such a means for both C++ and Java Kudu client API.
> Ideally, the corresponding C++ and Java parts of the API should match and be
> very similar.
