Add ability to issue pre-authorised tokens ("Personal Access Tokens") #11

To match most of the other services out there, it should be easy to issue yourself a token. These tokens should probably have no expiry.

[ ] Add built-in dummy app to own PATs
[ ] Add UI to issue yourself a pre-authorised token

I am going to take this one. One question though, should we really have a dummy app for this, or maybe add a "Generate Access Token" button inside of each application screen itself?

We don't necessarily need a dummy app, but having it makes the rest of the code consistent (since you can assume a client app is always set). That said, probably causes more trouble than it's worth, so we should avoid a dummy app.
