Actions fails unless GITHUB_TOKEN is explicitly provided #92

Description

@manio143

I've a good hour trying to debug why the action was failing for my repo. Turns out the GITHUB_TOKEN value was blank.
By default the action uses github.token which is empty. Instead secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN needs to be used.

GITHUB_TOKEN:
description: 'GitHub token needed to interact with the repository'
required: false
default: ${{ github.token }}

Also would be good to check for that in the script, because it runs all the way, but jq fails to parse response from GitHub API when it's not in an expected format. It fails but the script isn't aware why and doesn't print anything that could point to an authorization issue.

Work around:

steps:
- uses: codelytv/pr-size-labeler@v1
  with:
    GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
