Skipping checks is useful in certain special cases, such as testing. Tests might rely on mocked API responses or fake API implementations, which don't require a valid token. It wouldn't make sense to demand a valid token in that context.
should_skip_token_checks()boolean
googleAuthR uses this function to know when the execution context is
such that token checks should be skipped. This is ultimately determined by
the value of the googleAuthR.skip_token_checks boolean option. Users
or consumer libraries can set this option to signal that authentication is
not needed.
In addition, this function detects the use of httptest::with_mock_API
and skips token checks in that case as well.
