Remove token from client

-On startup, if you don’t pass `-token`, the server generates a random token and prints it to the logs. Put that token into the Dokuwiki plugin configuration.
-
 ### Flags
 
 - `-listen` (default `127.0.0.1:8765`): listen address (`host:port`). Must be loopback.
-- `-token` (default empty): shared secret token. If empty, a token is generated and logged at startup.
 - `-allow` (repeatable): allowed path prefix. If you specify one or more, the requested path must start with one of them.
