Matthias Einwag b93ced6f63 Allow to use a Github Auth token for fetching releases

This change allows to use a authorization token provided by Github in
order to fetch metadata for a RA release. Using an authorization token
prevents to get rate-limited in environments where lots of RA users use
a shared client IP (e.g. behind a company NAT).

The auth token is stored in `ExtensionContext.globalState`.
As far as I could observe through testing with a local WSL2 environment
that state is synced between an extension installed locally and a remote
version.

The change provides no explicit command to query for an auth token.
However in case a download fails it will provide a retry option as well
as an option to enter the auth token. This should be more discoverable
for most users.

Closes #3688
