Registration fails "An access token should not be provided on requests to /register" #323

Description

@piegamesde

Describe the bug
Trying to register a new account fails with "An access token should not be provided on requests to /register (except if type is m.login.application_service)", although no token was ever set.

To Reproduce

from matrix_client.client import MatrixClient
matrix = MatrixClient("${homeserverUrl}")
matrix.register_with_password(username="alice", password="foobar")

Expected behavior
Login works fine

Actual behavior

Client side:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 3, in <module>
    matrix.register_with_password(username="alice", password="foobar")
  File "/lib/python3.9/site-packages/matrix_client/client.py", line 203, in register_with_password
    response = self.api.register(
  File "/lib/python3.9/site-packages/matrix_client/api.py", line 160, in register
    return self._send(
  File "/lib/python3.9/site-packages/matrix_client/api.py", line 748, in _send
    raise MatrixRequestError(
matrix_client.errors.MatrixRequestError: 400: {"errcode":"M_UNKNOWN","error":"An access token should not be provided on requests to /register (except if type is m.login.application_service)"}

Server side:

Additional context
This is probably a regression in 0.4.0 related to the addition of use_authorization_header. Also the tests currently only test the creation of guest accounts.
