The pyjwkest package was abandoned upstream more than 3 years ago. Let's replace it with something more actively maintained. First check to see if the latest version of PyJWT (already used here) supports what we need from pyjwkest. If not, I nominate Authlib as seeming to cover the same functionality with much more usage and active maintenance, but feel free to do a quick search on PyPI or elsewhere for a better replacement.

Maybe jpadilla/pyjwt#723 added what we need? Not sure without further digging into how this works.

This script accepts a signing JWK (presumably `JWT_PRIVATE_SIGNING_JWK`)
and ensures that it has all of the precomputed private numbers that are
required for top performance. This is necessary before moving away from
pyjwkest to PyJWT for signing JWTs. See issue
<openedx/edx-drf-extensions#290>. (Alternatively,
one could remove the p, q, dp, dq, and qi params, but there is an unknown
performance cost to doing so as we are not currently caching these keys,
and the precompution happens on every load due to the way pyjwkest's API
works.)

* fixup! Upgrade devstack at the same time

Please see #333 for related discussion. I do not know if we have custom decoding code for asymmetric JWTs, or only for the symmetric JWTs.
