Description
It would be super awesome if the auth side of bootzooka was using JWTs, and could support something like Satellizer as a drop in. The old cookie based auth method is a bit dated, and makes 'api first' applications outside of the browser annoyingly complicated.
Seems there was some talk on google groups about JWTs in relation to akka-http-session too.
For the backend part of JWTs:

- https://github.com/sahat/satellizer/tree/master/examples/server/java
- JWT lib: Nimbus-Jose-JWT (Alt, Doc)
Working on implementing this myself currently, so if you want it, happy to share the bits (won't PR unless you really want though, as I will probably be ripping out the current session stuff from mine)
