Auto Generate User Access Token #25

Instead of having user's create and input an access token on /{repoOwner}/{repoName}/settings, Signatory should leverage the authorizations API to create one for the user automatically.

As confirmed by GitHub support via email, this is unnecessary since the token received during the login process will not expire.

GitHub OAuth tokens don't have an expiration date and should be valid until a user explicitly revokes them. So, it's safe to save the tokens and use them in the future. - Sept 25 @izuzak

Going to just save the user token we already have.
