Add Documentation for Programatic Authentication

[cowlingj]

Feature request

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

My problem is that I can login to the Admin UI and get access to restricted data, but I couldn't find out how to do this programmatically in the docs. I eventually stumbled on these tests that step through just that, but that was a lot of work to find how to do programmatic authentication.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like programmatic authentication to be included in the docs, perhaps a section in Advanced>Authentication (there's a section there for "Logging in to the Admin UI", so that's the place I first expected to find info on programmatic access).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Hi @cowlingj,

Thank you for taking the time to write up this issue.

In an effort to maintain the KeystoneJS project going forward, we're closing issues related to Keystone 5 to make way for the next version called Keystone Next.

The existing Keystone 5 codebase has been moved to keystonejs/keystone-5 which is now in a 6-12 month active maintenance phase.

You can learn more about the next version which we’re calling Keystone Next, which is now in preview.

If you feel this issue is still relevant and require assistance, please open a new issue in the keystonejs/keystone-5 repository.

Thank you for your continued support as we push towards this next major new version of KeystoneJS!
