Vanity Share Tokens

[michaelquigley]

We could introduce the concept of "vanity tokens".

@michaelquigley +1 as this was an ask from Resulticks as well.

A related idea is a DNS alias. I would use an alias, i.e., a custom domain name, for a long-lived share. While useful, this would add some ambiguity around how a share is accessed, which may be a worse experience. The ambiguity would stem from the introduction of an alias which is not the same thing as a share token. An alias could have an arbitrary DNS zone whereas a share token is a subdomain of the zone allocated for zrok.

Note: vanity share tokens should really only be available for reserved shares; ephemeral shares by nature are ephemeral and probably don't need a convenient name.
