Mint Service Token

Mint (or rotate) a long-lived READ-ONLY access token for an external agent.

Superuser-only. The endpoint can only create/serve users with
read-only agent scope — it is structurally unable to hand out
full-access tokens. Re-minting reactivates a previously revoked user.

**Auth:** `Authorization: Bearer <token>` required

## Request

```sh
curl -sS -X POST "https://entherium.duckdns.org:8443/api/v1/auth/service-token" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email":"<email>","expires_days":"<expires_days>","full_name":"<full_name>","revoke_prior":"<revoke_prior>"}'
```

## Response `200`
