Service accounts and PATs

Non-human identities for CI and scripts, authenticating with a PAT that starts with wl_.

A Service account is a non-human identity in an Organization. An org admin creates it and receives its PAT once, at creation; only a hash is stored.

Send the PAT as a bearer token. Tokens with the wl_ prefix are resolved through Service accounts and never fall through to identity-provider token checks.

Some changes still need a person: Permission lists and Ownership links on an Application cannot be changed with a PAT.
