Describe the problem you'd like to have solved

See the ask in #453

I want to use this SDK for verifying the access_token on the resource server.

Describe the ideal solution

The PHP SDK has this solution auth0/auth0-PHP#428
I think we can do something similar here.

Alternatives and current workarounds

I am doing

class AccessTokenVerifier(TokenVerifier):
    """
    Disgusting hack to get TokenVerifier to work. TokenVerifier is made for the id_token and auth0
    does not give us an access_token verifier. Proper handling of azp differs across id_token and
    access_token, hence requiring this hack where we force the azp to the app_identifier.
    https://github.com/auth0/ruby-auth0/issues/363
    """
    def _verify_payload(self, *args, **kwargs):
        args[0]['azp'] = AUTH0_AUDIENCE
        super()._verify_payload(*args, **kwargs)
