Replace usage of get_current_toke with StreamToken.START

This allows us to handle /context/ requests on the client_reader worker
without having to pull in all the various stream handlers (e.g.
precence, typing, pushers etc). The only thing the token gets used for
is pagination, and that ignores everything but the room portion of the
token.
