Please add `app.get_new_client()` to help with token rotation

[lexrobin-te]

From a discussion in #1324, the only safe way to call the client from outside a bolt handler when token rotation is on is to create a new client each time (as the handlers do)

Since Bolt is currently handling all of this for us, it'd be very useful to have a method along the lines of

client = await bolt.get_new_client(team_id)

that means callers do not need to deal with the InstallationStore and such themselves.

Hi @lexrobin-te thanks for writing in 💯

Currently we recommend to manually run the same rotation logic before utilizing the stored tokens, If you need to use WebClient outside of a handler

This could be a valid feature request but it may require some amount of work on our end to handle all use cases 🤔 we can't commit to this in the short term

For others reading this drop a 👍 if this is a feature you find useful

Thanks @WilliamBergamin, I understand that's the current recommendation and will be doing that in my project, but I'd appreciate this as a feature request to make things easier in the future.

Also, I'd recommend updating the docs on this since they currently say

Bolt for Python supports and will handle token rotation automatically so long as the built-in OAuth functionality is used.

which is only correct when it comes to the handlers 🙂
