GH Actions: do not persist credentials
> By default, using `actions/checkout` causes a credential to be persisted in the checked-out repo's `.git/config`, so that subsequent `git` operations can be authenticated. > > Subsequent steps may accidentally publicly persist `.git/config`, e.g. by including it in a publicly accessible artifact via `actions/upload-artifact`. > > However, even without this, persisting the credential in the `.git/config` is non-ideal unless actually needed. > > **Remediation** > > Unless needed for `git` operations, `actions/checkout` should be used with `persist-credentials: false`. > > If the persisted credential is needed, it should be made explicit with `persist-credentials: true`. This has now been addressed in all workflows. Refs: * https://unit42.paloaltonetworks.com/github-repo-artifacts-leak-tokens/ * https://docs.zizmor.sh/audits/#artipacked
