docs: discuss caching personal access tokens
Describe problems storing personal access tokens in git-credential-cache
and suggest alternatives.
Research suggests that many users are confused about this:
> the point of passwords is that (ideally) you memorise them [so]
> they're never stored anywhere in plain text. Yet GitHub's personal
> access token system seems to basically force you to store the token in
> plain text?
