Add Support for GitHub App Installation Authentication in GithubHook #39457
Description
Description
Enhance the GithubHook to support GitHub App installation authentication.
While the hook currently supports only token-based authentication, adding support for GitHub App installation authentication will provide a more secure option for Airflow users interacting with GitHub.
Use case/motivation
GitHub App installation authentication offers a more secure and granular permission model compared to personal access tokens. It allows for better audit trails and security practices, which are crucial for organizations managing complex workflows on GitHub.
By integrating this authentication method into GithubHook, Airflow users can leverage the benefits of GitHub Apps, such as fine-grained permissions, enhanced security, and improved automation capabilities within their data pipelines.

Assigned both of you know - I guess if no response is heard soon, feel free to work on it @jeff3071 -> in the end you can merge the solutions and review each other's code and learn from each other if it happens you work on parallel on it.

I'm interested to add support for reading the private key from connection directly (e.g. when connections stored in AWS Secrets Manager).
Should I raise a new issue, or can I just reference this one in my PR?

Either way works. If you can raise a PR (even a draft one) quick, then a issue is probably not necessary
