allow users to configure the CLI using their cloud login/password

many CLI tools for cloud products allow users to run a command to log into their cloud account and configure their CLI tool.

This issue would add the ability to install the influx cli and then login to your InfluxDB Cloud account and configure the connection, without first having to go through the UI to create a token.

The common pattern i see is the CLI generating a url and opening a browser window such that you can log in using the standard oauth flow. You are then asked to complete the steps back in the command line.

At the end of the process, the user would have a cli configured to connect to cloud using an all access token.
