* Updated to include example of using a Bearer token

This is the only way I got it to work with a secrets file and I thought it would be useful to share/capture the steps.

* Minor changes

If you are accessing a resource protected by a `Bearer` token in an `Authorization` header, you can either put the token in the header field of the sensor configuration (not recommended) or store the token in your [`secrets.yaml`](/docs/configuration/secrets/) file. In that case, be sure to include the word `Bearer` in the `secrets` file.
```yaml
sensor:
- platform: rest
resource: http://IP_ADDRESS:5000/sensor
headers:
Authorization: !secret my_sensor_secret_token
```
Example entry for the `secrets.yaml` file:
```yaml
my_sensor_secret_token: Bearer gh_DHQIXKVf6Pr4H8Yqz8uhApk_mnV6Zje6Pr4H8Yqz8A8nCxz6SBghQdS51
```
