#53995: Application Passwords Expiration

As a developer, I want the option to set an "expiration" date on
Application Passwords so that they aren't able to be used beyond the
period of time that I know they'll be used.
=== Use case
I've been working with Application Passwords as a replacement for session
cookies in an isomorphic decoupled website. I am generating them
programmatically and treating them almost identically to sessions. Because
they behave like sessions, I want them to expire. I'm working around this
presently by including an expiration timestamp in the Application Password
name.
While this feature request would solve that specific use case, I believe
this would be a worthwhile addition to Application Passwords to add an
option to make them more secure.
