Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Other languages (Java, Ruby) have basic bearer support, so I've updated my api definition to use that. Previously I was using OAuth 2 and renaming references to access token as bearer token. I suspect this will cause issues now with the Go client however.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add basic bearer auth scheme for Golang

Describe alternatives you've considered

Modifying templates to accommodate a bearer token. Not fun, and somewhat fragile.

Research direction

Start by comparing the existing bearer support in the Java and Ruby clients with the Go client generation path. The issue does not name files or tests; done should mean that Go clients generated from an API definition using a bearer authentication scheme support that authentication without requiring template modifications.
