📄 Description

Fixes https://github.com/plamere/spotipy/issues/687, https://github.com/plamere/spotipy/issues/828

To keep backward-incompatibility we shouldn't have made as_dict=True the default in get_access_token methods. This PR swaps it back to False. Therefore this must be seen as a bugfix rather than a new backward-incompatible change.

Normally, this shouldn't have too much effect on new code as we now don't recommend to get the token independently via get_access_token() in order to authenticate (see README).

If you have been using get_access_token() in new code, you should now use get_access_token(as_dict=True).
