Expose project access token value with create API

What does this MR do?

#238991 (closed) introduced the ability to manage project access tokens via the API. But because we don't expose the token value, the create endpoint isn't useful since users can't access or use that value for anything. We should return the token value when using the create endpoint.

This MR exposes the project access token value upon creation so the create endpoint is useful. The API does not expose the value through GET because that is a security risk.
