Description

To make sure JWTs that should only be used for creating one logintoken cannot be abused for other things.

This will break a bunch of tests that abuse tilauspalvelu JWTs, see https://github.com/pvarki/python-rasenmaeher-api/tree/autouse_nonces

Research direction

Start with the authentication middleware and the tests that use tilauspalvelu JWTs. Review the linked autouse_nonces branch for context, then verify that JWT nonces are consumed so tokens intended only to create one logintoken cannot be reused for other purposes. Update the affected tests and run the test suite to confirm the changed behavior.
