    Allow the Rails cookie to be used for API authentication
    
    Makes the Rails cookie into a valid authentication token for the Grape
    API, and uses it instead of token authentication in frontend code that
    uses the API.
    
    Rendering the private token into client-side javascript is a security
    risk; it may be stolen through XSS or other attacks. In general,
    re-using API code in the frontend is more desirable than implementing
    endless actions that return JSON.
    
    Closes #18302
