The getsentry-release is a GitHub bot account that is used in various automation, and the ${{ secrets.GH_RELEASE_PAT }} is a personal access token from that bot account. We are using a regular GitHub account as a bot while it should be a non-human account since there are no humans behind it. Hence, we are replacing it with a GitHub App.

Functionality wise, there will be no difference.

@Jeffreyhung was this already tested in other repos? Just asking because I'd like to keep the risk of blocking a release from this repo as minimal as possible. (Also, we'd like to cut a release today/tomorrow so we might just wait with merging this in)
