POC: Create new way of encrypting tokens

What does this MR do?

Creates new way of encrypting tokens.

After problems in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/production/-/issues/3443 we reached a decision to change a way to store encrypted tokens and stop using additional table and move to the system where nonce is saved in the same field as token.

Screenshots (strongly suggested)
