chore: replace GH_ACCESS_TOKEN with GitHub App token (#25518)

* chore: replace GH_ACCESS_TOKEN with GitHub App token

Replace personal access token (GH_ACCESS_TOKEN) with GitHub App token
generation using actions/create-github-app-token@v1 for improved security.

Updated workflows:
- draft-release.yml
- post-release.yml
- cleanup.yml
- cleanup-report.yml
- publish-report.yml
- i18n.yml

Benefits:
- Short-lived tokens (1 hour) vs long-lived PATs
- Fine-grained, scoped permissions
- Not tied to individual user accounts
- Better audit trail

Required setup:
- Create a GitHub App with contents:write permission
- Install the app on calcom/cal.com and calcom/test-results-2
- Add RELEASE_APP_ID and RELEASE_APP_PRIVATE_KEY secrets

* chore: rename secrets to CI_CAL_APP_ID and CI_CAL_APP_PRIVATE_KEY

Co-Authored-By: alex@cal.com <me@alexvanandel.com>

* chore: use reusable workflow from calcom-ci-secrets for token generation

This isolates the GitHub App private key in a separate repository,
ensuring that compromised actions in cal.com can only access short-lived
tokens, not the key itself.

* chore: use explicit secret passing instead of secrets: inherit

Only pass the two required secrets (CI_CAL_APP_ID, CI_CAL_APP_PRIVATE_KEY)
to the reusable workflow instead of inheriting all secrets.

* chore: remove secrets block - using environment secrets from calcom-ci-secrets

Secrets are now loaded from the ci-github-app environment in
calcom-ci-secrets, so cal.com workflows no longer need to pass them.

* chore: revert to explicit secret passing

Environment secrets in cross-repo reusable workflows don't work as expected.
Secrets must be passed explicitly from the caller repository.

* chore: generate GitHub App token directly in workflows

Remove dependency on calcom-ci-secrets reusable workflow.
Token generation is now inline using actions/create-github-app-token
pinned to SHA 7e473efe3cb98aa54f8d4bac15400b15fad77d94 (v2.2.0).
