Remove token_endpoint auth type
The token_endpoint was a compatibility auth type to maintain support
for the --url global option that dated back to the beginning of
OpenStack CLI auth. The common keystoneauth library implements
'admin_token' which provides the same functionality using
--endpoint rather than --url.

[Required: ``--os-auth-url``, ``--os-token``] -* **Token/Endpoint**: This is the original token authentication (known as 'token - flow' in the early CLI documentation in the OpenStack wiki). It requires - a token and a direct endpoint that is used in the API call. The difference - from the new Token type is this token is used as-is, no call is made - to the Identity service from the client. This type is most often used to - bootstrap a Keystone server where the token is the ``admin_token`` configured - in ``keystone.conf``. It will also work with other services and a regular - scoped token such as one obtained from a ``token issue`` command. - [Required: ``--os-url``, ``--os-token``] * **Others**: Other authentication plugins such as SAML, Kerberos, and OAuth1.0 are under development and also supported. To use them, they must be selected by supplying the ``--os-auth-type`` option. |
