Login via REFRESH_TOKEN
----
The Alexa-App way of logging in is using a REFRESH_TOKEN which allows for obtaining the session cookies. This replaces EMAIL/PASSWORD/MFA so those will not be exposed in any scripts anymore. For convenience I created a binary, ready to run: https://github.com/adn77/alexa-cookie-cli
