Document How to Externalize Vault's Token w/ VaultPropertySoure

See original GitHub issue

It would be nice to document how to externalize Vault’s Token when using VaultPropertySource. At the moment, there is a bit of a chicken and the egg problem when using standard Spring Environment.

One solution might be to instruct users to leverage system properties for this. We might also discuss how Spring Cloud (and in the future Spring Boot) have bootstrap.properties.
