The Dependabot workflow failed at the GitHub App token step with "A JSON web token could not be decoded" using the deprecated tibdex/github-app-token action, so it could not push the license SHA and changelog updates to the PR branch. Switch to actions/create-github-app-token, matching opensearch-java and opensearch-net. Resolves opensearch-project#799 Signed-off-by: Sotaro Hikita <bering1814@gmail.com>
