Description

- The generated bearer token by implementations of CallHeaderAuthenticator such as BearerTokenAuthenticator are bound to expire.
- The expired access token needs to be refreshed.
- The FlightClient needs to retry the API call on encountering FlightStatusCode.TOKEN_EXPIRED and refresh the expired token.

Refer to this [design document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/187DlGpIpOUPGhWvXVQEq0mXw_hdWjzzOuZp0p5qzBp0/edit?usp=sharing) for more details.

Research direction

Start with FlightClient and the CallHeaderAuthenticator implementations, including BearerTokenAuthenticator, then review the linked design document and pull request #8780. Done means expired-token responses trigger token refresh and the FlightClient retries the API call as specified.
