firebase-token-generator-python is no longer maintained

Description

edx-platform uses firebase-token-generator-python (see edx-platform/requirements/edx/base.in) to generate tokens. This library is deprecated and is no longer maintained.

If we swap this library for another, it'd be nice to find a new library that contains both encode and decode token methods so we can enhance the existing unit test: https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/blob/a439d5164c07e4695181b15244e8e5c7681421c4/common/lib/xmodule/xmodule/tests/test_annotator_token.py

Firebase Admin SDK for Python is the replacement recommended by the existing library.

It doesn’t look like this code is even called in edx-platform. The retrieve_token function is called only from lms/djangoapps/notes, which is no longer used, per .

So I believe this can just be removed.
