[FEATURE] Support access_token based provider authentication #660
Description
Description
It would be great if this provider would directly support access_token authentication mechanism.
This could enable the pattern of using hashicorp vault oauth2 secret-engine to generate short-lived tokens for terraform, so that we don't need to maintain static credentials (on allow them to be remembered inside terraform state-files if they are retrieved via data-source from somewhere).

data "vault_generic_secret" "ovh_auth" {
path = "secret/oauth2/self/ovh"
}
provider "ovh" {
access_token = data.vault_generic_secret.ovh_auth.data["access_token"]
}
