This fixes the auth-token not being updated if auth-nocache is set. Our
set_auth_token method ensures that the auth-token always has a username
but is a little bit too strict in the check.

Also add doxygen documentation and remove null checks. We use this function
only with non-null pointers and it makes it a bit nicer to read.

Thanks for digging into this - this was an annoying and hard 
to diagnose "sometimes, TLS reconnects fail for users where 
it *should* succeed due to tokens being used" problem (that
openvpn considers tokens sensitive and never logs them 
didn't help pinpointing the issue :-) ).

I tested this with a client built with lots of extra
debug output, gen-auth-token and frequend tls-renegotiates - 
and indeed, "up->defined" goes to "0" after the first incoming 
token if auth-nocache is active - so, no *further* tokens are 
learned.  With the patch, we also look at "tk->defined", which 
is *then* defined, and tokens work even in that case.

Verified with a 2.4 client against a master server, including
a master restart without having to re-enter credentials on
the client.  Yay :-)

Your patch has been applied to the master, release/2.5 and
release/2.4 branch (bugfix, identical code in all branches).
