Parameter 'mount_point' does not work with JWT auth about community.hashi_vault

Hi @erikgb welcome to the new collection!

Oof that's unfortunate. This is another area where JWT seems to have non-standard behavior compared to other auth methods in hvac. I've opened an issue for this one too: hvac/hvac#655

I think you're right about the fix being easy.

For testing, I hope it wouldn't be too difficult, as it's just a matter of doing the same thing as now but mounting the auth method in a path that's not the default when we set it up.

I've been thinking about this recently as the IAM method was also lacking mount_path support (oversight on my end, not an HVAC issue ; see #7 ), and there was no test for that either.

So one way to do this is to duplicate the config of every auth method, one with default mount point and one with a custom, and then run each set of auth method tests against both. It would be thorough but it would basically double testing time.

A more naive test might be to mount every auth method on a non-default path and always use the mount_point parameter in tests. I am slightly worried we would miss some edge case where this plugin doesn't work correctly with the default mount, due to oversight on our part, unexpected behavior from hvac, or other.

I'll think a little on how to implement tests for this and the general issue of mount_point issues.
Thanks for reporting!
