Added some details on how to solve a `configure-pages` permission problem.
Why:
Closes: https://github.com/actions/starter-workflows/issues/332
What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):
There were no details in the documentation about the problem that happens when trying to use configure-pages without arguments. The default GITHUB_TOKEN does not have the required permission to make it work. I added some information to explain how to solve this problem because it happened to me and I solved it.

@Hamza5 Thanks so much for opening a PR! I'll get this triaged for review ✨
@Hamza5 Hello! 👋 Thank you for your patience while our team reviewed this PR! After speaking with our engineering team, they informed us you wouldn't actually need a personal access token in this instance.
You would just need to customize the permissions for the GITHUB_TOKEN. We appreciate your willingness to contribute to GitHub Docs! I'll go ahead and close this issue 💛
