Tweak "Long-Lived Access Tokens" documentation (#716)

Browse Source 
It's much easier to grab a long-lived access token via the web frontend, so mention that *first*.

It appears that the previous ordering was just an artifact of the fact that web frontend support was added later than websocket support. See #151.

## Long-lived access token ## Long-lived access token
A long-lived access token is usually used for 3rd party API calls and webhook-ish integrations. To generate a long-lived access token, an active websocket connection has to be established. Long-lived access tokens are valid for 10 years. These are useful for integrating with third-party APIs and webhook-style integrations. Long-lived access tokens can be created using the **"Long-Lived Access Tokens"** section at the bottom of a user's Home Assistant profile page.
Send websocket command `auth/long_lived_access_token` will create a long-lived access token for current user. Access token will not be saved in Home Assistant. User need to record the token in secure place. You can also generate a long-lived access token using the websocket command `auth/long_lived_access_token`, which will create a long-lived access token for current user. The access token string is not saved in Home Assistant; you must record it in a secure place.
