Bug Description

There is an API (os-console-auth-tokens) which returns the connection info which correspond to a given console token. However this API works only for RDP consoles:

https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/api/openstack/compute/console_auth_tokens.py#L49

We need the same API for MKS consoles as well. Also I don't see any reason why we should check the console type at all.

Sorry, saw this bug just now:

That check for RDP console is IMO totally useless. When the os-console-auth-tokens patch was being reviewed, the reviewers asked to add it, the reason being provided is that people might use it in an "unsupported way", so unfortunately it's still there. I'd definitely support removing that check.
