Add the ability to pass in a requests.Session object in to Khoros init module

• Not sure, but any low-level call to requests would be affected.

Details

Our staging server is behind a "basic authentication" wall, so we cannot use this package as is since there is no way to pass an existing session in the khoros init module. Ideally, it would be nice to be able to do something like this:

with requests.Session() as session:
    session.auth = (basic_auth_username, basic_auth_password)
    khoros_api = Khoros(..., session=session)
    khoros_api.<something>(...)

Hi @rzuckerm,

I can definitely work on this. That being said, if you just have a Stage environment restricted with HTACCESS credentials, then you can just pass the credentials in as part of the community_url and it will work.

For example:

khoros = Khoros(
    community_url='https://user123:[email protected]',
    session_auth={'username': USERNAME, 'password': PASSWD}
)

Hope this helps!
