Entity silently created with `/auth/token/create/:role_name` endpoint

[stormshield-gt]

It really surprises me when I saw entities that I didn't create explicitly in my Vault instance. Turn out it comes from /auth/token/create/:role_name endpoint, more specifically from this line of code. I probably misuse the API.

Maybe this side effect can me mentioned in the doc, or how to avoid this pitfall?

Hi @stormshield-gt is this helpful to understand how entities work here: https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/concepts/identity#implicit-entities

Thanks for the hint, I didn't understand that aliases could come from external sources and in that case we need to create an associated entity to track it down.
