Make ec2-github-runner working with GITHUB_TOKEN generated into the Github Action workflow

[mik3fly]

I would like to use a GITHUB_TOKEN generated into my github action workflow instead of a Personnal Access Token. I m in a company context , and as it says "personal token" is not a best practice into a CI workflow.

I guess that it would require some conditional logic and the ability to pass in the app_id and app_private_key. The project is already using the Octokit.js library so here are the Github docs for authenticating with an app installation

Would be good to see this also.

We are using machine-users (functional accounts) for those cases
