Resolve "JWT API token support for Terraform Module Registry"

What does this MR do?

Adds a generic Gitlab::JWTToken and adds deploy_token_from_jwt, job_token_from_jwt, and personal_access_token_from_jwt token types to Gitlab::APIAuthentication along with a token_param location in order to support authenticating using JWT tokens passed as URL query string parameters, which is needed by the Terraform Module Registry work ongoing in !55018 (merged).

This allows you to authenticate an API endpoint in this manner:

authenticate_with do |accept|
  accept.token_types(:deploy_token_from_jwt, :job_token_from_jwt, :personal_access_token_from_jwt).sent_through(:token_param)
end
