Mineflayer Custom Auth

Why do it in a separate package?

Because these methods of logging in may be more involved. For example, this cookie login uses Puppeteer, which definitely won't be merged.

Known Limitations

If you switch back and forth between authenticating via microsoft and cookies, using the same username, it will clear the cache whenever you switch.

This shouldn't be an issue for most use-cases, so I'll fix if someone has an issue.
