Clean up exception handling for access_tokens (#5656)
First of all, let's get rid of `TOKEN_NOT_FOUND_HTTP_STATUS`. It was a hack we
did at one point when it was possible to return either a 403 or a 401 if the
creds were missing. We always return a 401 in these cases now (thankfully), so
it's not needed.

Let's also stop abusing `AuthError` for these cases. Honestly they have nothing
that relates them to the other places that `AuthError` is used, other than the
fact that they are loosely under the 'Auth' banner. It makes no sense for them
to share exception classes.

Instead, let's add a couple of new exception classes: `InvalidClientTokenError`
and `MissingClientTokenError`, for the `M_UNKNOWN_TOKEN` and `M_MISSING_TOKEN`
cases respectively - and an `InvalidClientCredentialsError` base class for the
two of them.
