Description
If a wpcom/Jetpack user visits https://wordpress.com/me/security/connected-applications they can opt to disconnect the mobile apps. This invalidates their bearer token and any subsequent request to the wpcom REST API requiring authentication will fail.
Investigate how to detect this scenario and, when detected, log the user out of wpcom (showing the welcome screen if necessary).

Research direction
Start by tracing authenticated wpcom REST API requests after a user disconnects the mobile apps from WordPress.com security settings, then follow the existing logout and welcome-screen flow. Done means revoked bearer-token failures are detected and the user is logged out, showing the welcome screen when necessary.
