Self-hosted Jira instances can't use the API token authentication, but must instead rely on the Personal Access Token authentication scheme[1].

This patch introduces support for this authentication method as the third mode of authenticating.

This PR is missing a convenient way to specify that this login method is the desired one. Something along the lines of

jipdate --init --auth auth_token/token/password --token abcdefghjkl --server jira.company.com

Personally find the python-jira nomenclature around token/auth_token to be quite confusing so maybe referring to the different tokens as cloud_token and personal_token would make more sense.
