Enable token generation for the use of API

[andriineronov]

Task #18436
Description

We should enable "trusted users" to get token to use for the API access. This has to be done from the frontend, with a button like "generate token". Clicking on this button a user will be invited to login with some credentials (GitHub, local CDCI login). Mohamed, pleas make a suggestion how this could work. (may be by analogy with CHEOPS, transient analysis etc).

Refinement:

The action should be like this: in the frontend there will be a button "Get API code" (where there will be a display of a piece of code to reproduce the result with the API. Once somebody clicks on it, he will be invited to login with GitHub, in a new popup window, which will be actually at the "API production" instance of astrooda.

Following a discussion with Volodymyr, the purpose of this functionality is to provide a token to the user (if he is allowed to)!
The targeted functionality is then to allow the user to :
1- get his token (to be used in the API) if he is already connected
2- request a token via a form if not connected

Andrii, would you confirm ?

Yes, that's the idea. Not sure, could he/she just get it displayed in a window if he is connected, or this has always to be sent by e-mail?

OK !
If the user is connected, the token is available in a cookie, when clicking on the button "API token" the token is copied to the clipboard.
If not, a form is opened to allow the user requesting a token (an account!)
