Clarify intro to Personal access tokens

Mike Jang requested to merge personal-access-token-api-examples into master

What does this MR do?

As noted in #36492 (closed), our doc on how to use personal access tokens with our API are not clear.

My intent with this MR is to clarify the intro, by explicitly pointing to https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/README.html#personal-access-tokens as an example of how readers can use a personal access token.

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?
