Description

I'm tempted to make it optional, since a) any existing tokens will need to be given one, and b) you might not want to bother giving a name. On the other hand, nothing else with a name lets you leave it off. It would be convenient to make tokens behave like other API resources. Will have to think about it.

This is the lowest-priority part of the token work collected in #8138. It is not load-bearing.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the token work collected in #8138 and how existing API resources handle name fields. Resolve whether token names are required or optional, including how existing tokens receive names. Done means the naming behavior is decided and implemented consistently for access tokens.
