Summary

This PR adds PAKETO_BOT_GITHUB_TOKEN on checkout as the github_token. This allows to trigger the test workflows and also trigger the auto approve action. Currently, only the first commit triggers the aforementioned actions as the PR is happening from the open pr gh actions, which uses the PAKETO_BOT_GITHUB_TOKEN. In case something blocks the PR and can not be landed (e.g. GH sometimes is flaky) the subsequent commits are getting pushed with the GITHUB_TOKEN instead of the PAKETO_BOT_GITHUB_TOKEN . This results in not triggering the aforementioned the github actions and it ends up the automated updates, needing a manual approval/review, which might be missed.

This PR will unblock many stale PRs :) and will also improve the maintenance on the Paketo Buildpacks overall !
