Token caching example needs some work for desktop bridge apps

[chitturs]

RE: System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location in the example.

This doesn't work for packaged desktop apps (also called desktop bridge) since that location is read-only. To fix that you need to use Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalCacheFolder.Path + "\msalcache.bin" which is a per-app read/write folder for packaged apps.
