Authentication by API token, not parameter passing

[skasberger]

Authentication is done by passing an API token to the class instantiation, not by passing the parameter auth to the API methods.

Remove auth and establish set of API token if passed.

As discussed during the 2024-02-14 meeting of the pyDataverse working group, we are closing old milestones in favor of a new project board at PyDataverse Working Group and removing issues (like this one) from those old milestones. Please feel free to join the working group! You can find us at https://py.gdcc.io and https://dataverse.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/377090-python

I accidentally found this issue now, and it seems to be the same as #192, which has a PR at #201.

Yes, thanks. I'll close this in favor of the newer issue and PR.
