Omit using -X when not needed, and don't default to demonstrating -k

It's the year 2024: using -k as default in https URL schemes should be deprecated. (I have left one mention of it possibly being required if no CA available). Furtheremore, neither -XGET or -XPOST are required, as curl(1) well knows when to use which method.

 In AWX, the OAuth 2 system is built on top of the `Django Oauth Toolkit`_, which provides dedicated endpoints for authorizing, revoking, and refreshing tokens. These endpoints can be found under the ``/api/v2/users/<USER_ID>/personal_tokens/`` endpoint, which also provides detailed examples on some typical usage of those endpoints. These special OAuth 2 endpoints only support using the ``x-www-form-urlencoded`` **Content-type**, so none of the ``api/o/*`` endpoints accept ``application/json``.
