1. Helix modify channel information endpoint should allow access to editors

   The new helix endpoint to modify channel information ( https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#modify-channel-information ) doesn't work with a user token from a user that has been added as an editor to the channel. This basicially shuts out any clientside tool used by editors where it's impractical for the broadcaster to directly authorize access. Editors should be trusted enough to be able to choose their own tools.

   Allowing access to editors would especially make sense if this is intended as a replacement for the v5 endpoint ( https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/reference/channels#update-channel ), which does allow editors to update the stream title and game. It would also work better together with the replace stream tags helix endpoint ( https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#replace-stream-tags ), which also allows editors access.

   I would appreciate it if this change could be made to allow tools to continue working when switching to helix.
