Add support to sync private files

Problem/Motivation

If we sync media entities, either directly or if they are referenced by nodes, the associated physical file gets requested with an anonymous GET request which leads to an authentication error and the file won't be transferred. As we do have a portal product in the makes, where we can't open up the permissions, we're looking for a different solution which would also allow for private files to be synced.

A possible solution could be, that the client and server negotiate a token for file requests, and the client uses that token in its request as an argument so that the entity share server can then grant access permission to the file, just for that request. Like individual authentication on that file request.

Maybe there are better ways of doing this?
