Do we want to mention that you can use this to unmerge even if you've lost the discord auth token?

Something like:

:::info
This endpoint can also be useful in cases where the Discord Auth token has been lost to to error or data loss, and an unmerge operation is required to migrate to a provisional account before re-linking a Discord account.

WDYT?


```python
import requests

API_ENDPOINT = 'https://discord.com/api/v10'
BOT_TOKEN = 'YOUR_BOT_TOKEN'

def unmerge_provisional_account(external_user_id):
data = {
'external_user_id': external_user_id # identifier used in the /token/bot endpoint
}
headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': f'Bot {BOT_TOKEN}'
}
r = requests.post('%s/provisional-accounts/unmerge/bot' % API_ENDPOINT, json=data, headers=headers)
r.raise_for_status()
