      When the k8s context is using a user credentials with refresh tokens (like oidc or gke/gcloud auth), the token is refreshed by the k8s python client library but not saved by default. So the old refresh token can expire and the next auth might fail. Setting this flag to true will tell the k8s python client to save the new refresh token to the kube config file.

      Default to false.

      Please note that the current version of the k8s python client library does not support setting this flag to True yet.

      The fix for this k8s python library is here: https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python-base/pull/169
