GitHub Apps' installation access tokens expire after an hour.

That is the reason why the mingw-w64-gnutls and the mingw-w64-gnutls(aarch64) builds failed: it took more than an hour to build those Pacman packages.

Work around such issues by refreshing the installation access token if needed.

Here is a workflow run demonstrating (via essentially a dry-run) that the non-expiring case still works as expected, and here is a workflow run where an expired token was simulated, and it still managed to update the check run.

We recently ran into an expiring installation access token. To remedy
that, we will want to return not only the token but also its expiry
date. Prepare for that.

The build
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git-for-windows-automation/actions/runs/4153007326/jobs/7184357891
as well the build
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git-for-windows-automation/actions/runs/4153007483/jobs/7184358147
failed due to an expiring installation access token: these tokens expire
after an hour, and the step that built the Pacman package took well over
an hour.

To cope with that, remember the expiry date of the token, and after the
Pacman package has been built, refresh it if it is expired (or running
the danger of expiring while the packages are deployed).
