Create a plaidLinkToken, which is used to initialize the Plaid Link process. The Plaid Link token is ephemeral and expires after 4 hours.
Once the user completes the Plaid Link process and authorizes access to their bank account, the Plaid JavaScript SDK will return a temporary plaidPublicToken, which may then be exchanged for a non-expiring plaidAccessToken using POST /plaid/item/public_token/exchange.
