Investigate switching from a PAT to GitHub App #3

Description

@ptheywood

The current process uses a PAT owned, i.e. a single point of failure (If I don't press renew and update the token before it expires every 366 days).

The org version of PATs is to use a GitHub App, but the docs imply these need a server to run on (as that's typical usage).

It looks like it should be possible to actually have a Github App which is just used for the token, i.e. as an org PAT
