Add a banner informing about token expiration

What does this MR do and why?

We are backporting !154944 (merged) into this stable version.

Display a banner to all users, similar to broadcast banners, for GitLab version between 16.0 and 17.0, both included. The banner informs about upcoming expiration of tokens and how to troubleshoot the expiration.

The banner is dismissable. The data is persisted in the browser cookie and expires in one year from the date it has been dismissed. Like other broadcast banners, if the user opens an incognito window the banner reappears.
