need an authenticator to refresh bearer token every X minutes in api client
Describe the solution you'd like
the typescript client generator already solved this by allowing user to supply a default authenticator. https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/blob/6dc3216f6d8c8566931552a59198c3e13cfaa291/modules/openapi-generator/src/main/resources/typescript-node/api-single.mustache#L43
we probably need to do the same thing to other generators, e.g. java, python,...etc..

Start with the referenced modules/openapi-generator/src/main/resources/typescript-node/api-single.mustache template and compare how the Java and Python generators handle authentication. Define the supported user-supplied authenticator behavior and verify that generated clients can refresh bearer tokens at the requested interval across the selected generators.
