Remove server login token requirement for dedicated servers #1218

Describe your suggestion

Remove the gameserver login token requirement for P2CE dedicated servers to allow non LAN clients to connect. As far as I can tell this was only added to CS:GO because Valve wanted to be able to ban servers giving away free weapon skins, which is completely irrelevant to P2CE since we don't have any paid items. In all previous Source games you can run servers using an anonymous Steam login without needing to generate a login token, this behavior should be restored.

To clarify this is referring to needing a login token on the serverside when running the server, of course joining clients would still need to authenticate with steam

I think we decided we'll still require the token for listing in the server browser, but without one people could still connect directly
