Context

The docs for creating and managing API tokens in Graylog are out of date.

https://docs.graylog.org/en/4.0/pages/configuration/rest_api.html?highlight=token#creating-and-using-access-token

Expected Content

The docs still show the old token management where tokens can be copied from the clipboard. They need to be updated to the new UI. For example
