doctl auth login signs in through browser OAuth

When authenticating doctl for repository work, run `doctl auth login` to approve browser OAuth, or `doctl auth init` to enter an API token; credentials are stored in an authentication context. Use `--no-browser`, `--timeout`, `--scopes`, `--save-scope`, or `--context <name>` to adjust browser sign-in as needed.
