Convert default token into bearer token for application only (user-free) authentication method

Oauth token created via |
bearer_token()
will only work on valid tokens generated from
a user-created Twitter app (requires a Twitter developer account; see
create_token
for more information). Unlike the default token
returned by create_token
, bearer tokens operate without any
knowledge/information about the user context–meaning, bearer token requests
cannot engage in user actions (e.g., posting tweets, reading DMs), and the
information returned by Twitter will not include user-specific variables
(e.g., if the user is following a certain account). The upside to this
authentication method is that it can afford users with more generous rate
limits. For example, the rate limit for the standard search API is 18,000
tweets per fifteen minutes. With a bearer token, the rate limit is 45,000
tweets per fifteen minutes. However, this is not true for all endpoints.
For a breakdown/comparison of rate limits, see
https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/rate-limits.html.
