/**
 * Determines whether the user can access a pad.
 *
 * @param padID identifies the pad the user wants to access.
 * @param sessionCookie identifies the sessions the user created via the HTTP API, if any.
 *     Note: The term "session" used here is unrelated to express-session.
 * @param token is a random token of the form t.randomstring_of_length_20 generated by the client
 *     when using the web UI (not the HTTP API). This token is only used if settings.requireSession
 *     is false and the user is accessing a public pad. If there is not an author already associated
 *     with this token then a new author object is created (including generating an author ID) and
 *     associated with this token.
 * @param userSettings is the settings.users[username] object (or equivalent from an authn plugin).
 * @return {accessStatus: grant|deny, authorID: a.xxxxxx}. The caller must use the author ID
 *     returned in this object when making any changes associated with the author.
 *
 * WARNING: Tokens and session IDs MUST be kept secret, otherwise users will be able to impersonate
 * each other (which might allow them to gain privileges).
