Remove keyring requirement - replace with cookie/other token (gnome_keyring)

See original GitHub issue

The Issue

We’ve had some complaints and seensome startup issues because users didn’t have gnome keyring installed. From what I understand, it’s not on all Linux distros and some people choose to use it for various reasons. Is it possible to generate the auth token in a different way for Linux? Possibly some hash of the wallet pubkey and timestamp?

Steps to reproduce

Run bry-app without gnome keyring installed
hangs on authenticating screen
see daemon log below
