We previously held off with updating Octokit to v18 due to
their more noticable issues with typings. This commit updates
us to the latest version in order to take advantage of the new
pagination API (which is also strongly-typed), and to not fall
behind too much over time (Octokit seems to change quite often..)
We work around the problem with the types for `getContent` by just
using a type cast with a TODO (and link to the issue). Similarly we
work around a problem where the Octokit types have an incorrect type
for the name of the labels array in an API response.

Currently the `GitClient` accepts a generic parameter for determining
whether the `githubToken` should be set or not. This worked fine so far
in terms of distinguishing between an authenticated and
non-authenticated git client instance, but if we intend to conditionally
show methods only for authenticated instances, the generic parameter
is not suitable.
This commit splits up the `GitClient` into two classes. One for
the base logic without any authorization, and a second class that
extends the base logic with authentication logic. i.e. the
`AuthenticatedGitClient`. This allows us to have specific methods only
for the authenticated instance. e.g.
* `hasOauthScopes` has been moved to only exist for authenticated
instances.
* the GraphQL functionality within `gitClient.github` is not
accessible for non-authenticated instances. GraphQL API requires
authentication as per Github.
The initial motiviation for this was that we want to throw if
`hasOAuthScopes` is called without the Octokit instance having
a token configured. This should help avoiding issues as within
3b434ed94d
that prevented the caretaker process momentarily.
Additionally, the Git client has moved from `index.ts` to
`git-client.ts` for better discoverability in the codebase.

We recently updated `@octokit/rest` to a more recent version. For this
the Github client had to be refactored to account for new types of
Octokit. With the refactorings the authentication of the Github
client broke as we used an incorrect option for setting the OAuth
token. The TS transpilation did not fail because the Octokit types
support arbitrary options in the constructor. This is not solvable
on our side, so we cannot prevent similar issues in the future
unfortunately. Adding tests for authentication is not a reasonable
option either.
Creates a singleton class for GitClient rather than relying on creating an instance to
require being passed around throughout its usages.

Cleans up outdated comments in the shared dev-infra Git
utilities. We also export the Graphql client for consistency
as we expose the `GithubClient` and `GitClient` too.
PR Close#38656
Instead of maintaining multiple interface for grouping
owner name and repo name, we expose a shared interface
describing a Github repository.
One unfortunate downside is that the GraphQL Github
and Rest API diverge slightly with the key for the
repository name. i.e. rest uses `repo` for the name
of a repository, while GraphQL uses `name` for the name.
If that would be consistent, we could use the rest operator
to pass a repository to the Octokit REST or GraphQL API. This
does not work, so we have a small manual overhead as seen
in the `branches.ts` file.

Instead of repeating the logic for adding the github token to
a repository git url, we add a shared function for automatically
computing the URls with token.
Additionally, URLs for updating/generating tokens have been moved
to a dedicated file in the `utils` folder. Also while being at it,
the yargs github token helper is also moved into the dedicated
Git/Github related util folder.

Creates a tool within ng-dev to checkout a pending PR from the upstream repository. This automates
an action that many developers on the Angular team need to do periodically in the process of testing
and reviewing incoming PRs.
Example usage:
ng-dev pr checkout <pr-number>
PR Close#38474
The merge script currently accepts a configuration function that will
be invoked _only_ when the `ng-dev merge` command is executed. This
has been done that way because the merge tooling usually relies on
external requests to Git or NPM for constructing the branch configurations.
We do not want to perform these slow external queries on any `ng-dev` command
though, so this became a lazily invoked function.
This commit adds support for these configuration functions to run
asynchronously (by returning a Promise that will be awaited), so that
requests could also be made to the Github API. This is benefical as it
could avoid dependence on the local Git state and the HTTP requests
are more powerful/faster.
Additionally, in order to be able to perform Github API requests
with an authenticated instance, the merge tool will pass through
a `GithubClient` instance that uses the specified `--github-token`
(or from the environment). This ensures that all API requests use
the same `GithubClient` instance and can be authenticated (mitigating
potential rate limits).
