* client-go: restores behavior of populating the BearerToken field in rest.Config objects constructed from kubeconfig files containing tokenFile config, or from in-cluster configuration. An additional BearerTokenFile field is now populated to enable constructed clients to periodically refresh tokens. ([#71713](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71713), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Resolves performance regression in `kubectl get all` and in client-go discovery clients constructed using `NewDiscoveryClientForConfig` or `NewDiscoveryClientForConfigOrDie`.
