Overview
Add GitHub App authentication as an alternative to PAT tokens. Includes configuration models, client changes, and tests.
Does not include charm wiring and docs update to keep PR size small. There will be a follow-up PR containing the charm adaptions.
Original draft PR that contained all changes and copilot review iterations: #774
Rationale
GitHub App authentication provides 3x rate limits for enterprises and does also decouple authentication from specific persons. E.g., with PAT's, it is always required that the person owning the PAT is really an admin on a repository in order to register self-hosted runners.
Checklist
