Extra login asked when asked when going into cicd and pull requests tabs

Same type of issue as -> ARC-117

Description

After logging in, when we open service and go to CICD tab, it is again asking for login. Even though this is happening first time only but its not something which is expected.

This is the issue with plugin @backstage/plugin-github-actions package.
We have used this package fetching, listing workflows. For access token, they have used scope as 'repo'.
On the other hand we use scope 'read:user' for access token.
Instead of adding 'repo' scope for github login( which gives read/write/commit etc repo access to token), changed scope in the plugin npm package to 'read:user'. (https://docs.github.com/en/apps/oauth-apps/building-oauth-apps/scopes-for-oauth-apps)
As this change is from '@backstage/plugin-github-actions' package, used patch-package for the same (https://www.npmjs.com/package/patch-package). Created patch which run on postinstall. Updated result:
