use secrets to generate worker id

The worker ID right now is typically based off the address of an object
in memory. This could be guessed. While the worker is tied to a
specific IP, there is a chance an off-path attacker could be hosted
behind the same IP as the caller. They could possibly guess the worker
id of an unclaimed session by observing the sequence of IDs presented to
themselves, leading to them gaining access to an already authenticated
SSH session.

Use the python secrets module to generate a cryptographically secure
token to use as the worker ID. This shoud be much harder to guess.
