Document where authentication credentials are stored #1773

Description

@raiskila

Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve

I can't find any information on the website or in the CLI help command about where authentication information is stored.

Proposed solution

Document where GH CLI stores authentication credentials. Also explain the relationship of this with existing GitHub credentials you may have on your system, like an SSH key or git https credentials in the keychain.

This helps the user understand the security and practical implications of logging in to the CLI.
