feat: add --api flag for Canvas API token authentication

- Add APIToken field to Credentials struct with omitempty JSON tag
- Implement GetAPIToken() method with persistent token storage
- Add SaveRefreshToken() helper to preserve API tokens during OAuth
- Implement --api CLI flag to use API token instead of OAuth
- Validate empty refresh tokens and skip refresh if invalid
- Update README with API token usage documentation

 Credentials are stored in `credentials.json` after the first successful login. The refresh token is automatically used for subsequent runs.
 
+With `--api`, enter a manually generated Canvas API token on first use. It is saved to `credentials.json` and reused on later `--api` runs.

 ## Notes
 
 - Files are organized to match Canvas structure
