Vault Agent: support static tokens from `vault login`

[grahamc]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm working on something involving vault agent. The interesting part of my project doesn't involve how Vault gets its token. Setting up extra Vault infrastructure around automatic authentication is a bit of a chore for this.

Describe the solution you'd like

While iterating on the configuration, it would be neat if vault agent would/could use the token on my workstation which I got from vault login.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Setting up a local test cluster of Vault, or creating an approle that I can use locally for testing.

Explain any additional use-cases

This is essentially intended in a "just run once and let's see what happened" development environment scenario.

Additional context

n/a

Hi @grahamc , Could you expand a little on the functionality you're looking for with this change? Vault agent should already pick up the token from your environment, so long as auto-auth is not enabled.

Hi @grahamc - since it's been a while since we've heard from you on this request, I'm going to go ahead and close it now. Please feel free to re-open or open a new issue as needed. Thanks! :)
