change the signed token format. We don't folks to be able to submit random text for signing by us, as they could then use these to generate known signatures.

+token      => a string (possibly random) chosen by the requesting service. If provided, an entry in the discovered packet will be provided called 'signed_token' which consists of the base64url_encoded RSA signature of the concatenation of the string 'token.' and the provided token using the private key of the discovered channel. This can be verified using the provided 'key' entry, and provides assurance that the server is in possession of the private key for the discovered identity. After 2017-01-01 it is **required** that a server provide a signed_token *if* a token was provided in the request.
