Allow passing PAT name and scopes via the URL

What does this MR do?

GitHub allows URLs to pre-fill in parts of the Personal Access Token form. This allows projects like Composer to prompt users with a link that pre-selects the scopes required by the tool without users having to guess.

This MR adds a similar functionality to the GitLab Personal Access Tokens for a user (i.e. the https://gitlab.com/-/profile/personal_access_tokens page).

Only 2 parameters are supported for now, name and scopes.
