Request: Use org and repos name instead of installation ID

Is there an existing issue that is already proposing this?

Describe the problem imposed by not having this feature

I would prefer not to enter the GitHub App's Installation ID as an env var, and have the orb find it directly using the API. You can get the installation access tokens URL from the /installation URL if you have the org name and the repo name (which you usually have in CircleCI pipeline).

Describe the solution you'd like

parameters:
  org_name:
    description: The name of the GitHub org to get the installation token for.
    type: string
    default: $CIRCLE_PROJECT_USERNAME
  repository_name:
    description: The name of the repository to get the installation token for.
    type: string
    default: $CIRCLE_PROJECT_REPONAME

And then in the script:

installation_access_tokens_url=$(
  curl -s -X GET \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${jwt}" \
    -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
    "https://api.github.com/repos/<< parameters.org_name >>/<< parameters.repository_name >>/installation" \
  | jq -r ".access_tokens_url"
)
auth_token=$(
  curl -s -X POST \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${jwt}" \
    -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
    $installation_access_tokens_url \
  | jq -r ".token"
)
