Description

The documentation still tells users to fetch access tokens for Draupnir from a client such as Element Web. This was already not good advice (albeit the simplest solution) however now that servers are starting to roll out OIDC and MAS, these tokens are also now becoming short-lived. Including the cURL command, or linking to something similar to my access token fetcher should probably be done going forward.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the documentation section that recommends fetching access tokens from Matrix clients. Examine the alternative approach using cURL or the linked 'mxtoken' fetcher, and update the docs accordingly.
