Currently, the nightly sync job fails if upstream makes changes to some of its CI workflows, even for workflow files that we don't use. Workflow files change probably every other day, so this means that I spend some time every other day having to babysit the sync job.
The default GitHub runner account disallows making changes to workflow files for security reasons. However, you can change workflow files if you run the workflow using a GitHub App instead of the default runner account. Divin created an app for us that should have all the right permissions. I've added the ID and key for it to this repo, and this PR adds a step that will generate a token that Actions can use to authenticate to the GitHub API as the app.
