(Tcl) Refresh a Square OAuth2 Access Token

Refreshes a Square OAuth2 access token. When an access token expires, HTTPS requests will receive a 401 status response indicating failure. When this happens, your application can run this code to refresh the access token, and then retry the request using the new access token. Refreshing an access token does not need user interaction (i.e. does not need to display a browser to have the user interactive authorize access).
