Zach 6238a99275 feat(cli)!: enable keyring usage by default (#20851)
Make keyring usage for session token storage on by default for supported
platforms (Windows and macOS), with the ability to opt-out via
--use-keyring=false.

This change will be a breaking change for any users depending on the
session token being stored on disk, though users can restore file usage
via the flag above.

This change will also require CLI users to authenticate after updating.
