Description:

def discharge(ctx, id, caveat, key, checker, locator):
    ''' Creates a macaroon to discharge a third party caveat.

    The given parameters specify the caveat and how it should be checked.
    The condition implicit in the caveat is checked for validity using checker.
    If it is valid, a new macaroon is returned which discharges the caveat.
    The macaroon is created with a version derived from the version that was
    used to encode the id.

    :param id: (bytes) holds the id to give to the discharge macaroon.
    If Caveat is empty, then the id also holds the encrypted third party
    caveat.
    :param caveat: (bytes) holds the encrypted third party caveat.
    If this is None, id will be used.
    :param key: holds the key to use to decrypt the third party caveat
    information and to encrypt any additional third party caveats returned by
    the caveat checker.
    :param checker: used to check the third party caveat, and may also return
    further caveats to be added to the discharge macaroon.
    :param locator: used to information on third parties referred to by third
    party caveats returned by the Checker.
