MechaCat02 973b82ebf5 Replace the Schulcloud token without a restart
A token lasts 30 days and only a browser login yields one — the account is
federated, so the server cannot mint it. Replacing it meant editing .env and
recreating the container, every month.

`schulcloud token set` (a hidden prompt, or piped input) and a /token page
both send it to PUT /api/token. The server checks it with Schulcloud first —
well-formed, unexpired, still logged in, the same account — then swaps it
into the config every request reads, restarts the keepalive and saves it in
STATE_DIR, a new volume, with mode 0600. At startup the newer of the saved
token and TSC_JWT_COOKIE wins, unless they belong to different accounts. A
refused paste changes nothing, and the token is never logged.

The keepalive's pings carry a generation, so a 401 for the old token that
arrives after a swap cannot stop the new cycle. `schulcloud token`, whoami
and the log report the expiry and warn a week ahead.

Found on the way: a host that is off for more than two hours loses the
session however long the token has left — this machine lost it overnight —
which is what the always-on Pi is for.

174 tests. Smoke 72/72 on the local instance, and a real swap verified end to
end there.

# The value of the `jwt` cookie from a logged-in browser session.
# The 30-day `exp` is only a ceiling; the real limit is a 2-hour sliding session
# TTL that the built-in keepalive holds open. IMPORTANT: close the Schulportal
# window after copying this — an open tab shares the session and its auto-logout
# will revoke this token ~2h after login. See docs/AUTH.md.
# Needed for the first start. Later tokens go in with `schulcloud token set` or
# the server's /token page, without a restart; a saved newer one wins over this.
