Create GitHub fine-grained PAT

Bootstrap can be run with a GitHub fine-grained personal access token, for repositories that are created ahead of time by an organization admin.

The fine-grained PAT must be generated with the following permissions:

Administration -> Access: Read-only
Contents -> Access: Read and write
Metadata -> Access: Read-only

Note that Administration should be set to Access: Read and write when using bootstrap github --token-auth=false.

Export credentials
