Send a password reset token.
This will send a password reset email to the user. If a password reset token does not already exist
for this user, it will create one and then send it.

The URL sent in the email is expressed as the 'password_reset_url' of the user's email/password credential object.
Password reset URLs will expire in 60 minutes.
This method can be called with an empty body.
