gettext: Use a git credential helper to set token
The GitHub checkout@v2 action sets the credentials on the repo differently, meaning that doing this does not work anymore:
https://github.com/elementary/actions/blob/4e4476db39b27cc98506d31de20e987b1ec78704/gettext-template/entrypoint.sh#L35
This means that the action can no longer push to protected branches using the elementaryBot token.
Reading this suggests that adding a git credential helper instead should be the solution to this problem: https://github.com/actions/checkout/issues/162
So it looks like we can add something like this instead:
git config credential.https://github.com/.helper "! f() { echo username=x-access-token; echo password=$GITHUB_TOKEN; };f"
