Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The implicit grant flow is no longer a recommended option for client-side authentication.

Describe the solution you'd like
Spotify now supports PKCE, so I think this library should implement it.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None.

Additional context
Spotify PKCE auth flow guide.

Could we get this in a release soon? Unless you're waiting for something specific, it seems like 2.15 has plenty of changes to warrant a release.
