[RFC-007] Implement GitHub app authentication for git repositories.

- Add github app based authentication method to fetch installation token in auth package.
- Add unit tests to test the github app authentication
- Add github provider options in git package.
- Use the github provider to clone from go-git package.
- Add unit tests to fetch git credentials and cloning the repository using github app authentication.
- Add e2e tests to test pull/push to git repositories using github app authentication.
- Update the github workflow to run e2etests from CI.
