mod_tokenauth: Only check if expiry of expiring tokens Some tokens, e.g. OAuth2 refresh tokens, might not have their lifetime explicitly bounded here, but rather be bounded by the lifetime of something else, like the OAuth2 client. Open question: Would it be better to enforce a lifetime on all tokens?
