Add documenation for user impersonation

For some reason there was no central documentation for the user

that already exist elsewhere in the documentation. This also adds a

- With the API, using [impersonation tokens](../../api/README.md#impersonation-tokens).
All impersonation activities are [captured with audit events](../../administration/audit_events.md#impersonation-data).
