Renew authentication

Since we can’t revoke a JSON Web Token once we’ve issued it, we need to set them to expire after a relatively short period of time. We’ve set ours to expire in 15 minutes. Of course, many users will want to use the API for more than 15 minutes at a time. This endpoint makes it easy to get a new JSON Web Token if you have one already, with another 15 minutes on it before it expires. Thus, so long as you make requests to renew your authentication more frequently than once every 15 minutes, you can keep a session going indefinitely.
