Would anyone else find it useful to have a flag to just return the token from the kubectl execcredential flow? I've found that I'm using the heptio-authenticator-aws token -r <role> -i <name> | jq -r ".status.token" to generate tokens for things like the Kubernetes dashboard auth.

Curious if anyone else would use something like --token-only or some other name?

Going to do a quick implementation of this, I've found this really necessary with some of the affiliate tools around K8s, and will help with people trying to use older client-go libraries, instead of needing a JSON parsing library or jq in the shell.

**Why:**

* This enables you to use the authenticator binary to generate
  short-lived access to tools like the Kubernetes Dashboard using the
  token field

**This change addresses the need by:**

* closes kubernetes-sigs#85
