Can you please clarify what scopes the token needs?

hi @miparnisari taking a quick look at the code, we use the github token in octokit to call for the latest buf to download:

buf-setup-action/src/buf.ts

Lines 136 to 137 in ffdd84c

const octokit = new Octokit({
auth: githubToken,

Which uses these endpoints:

GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases
GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases/tags/{tag}

so the token would need contents:read permission. If that sounds sensible then I can put a PR up to clarify this in the README.

Add documentation for github token scopes (#122)
bde3eb2 
The README did not make it clear what scopes were needed by the github
token that was provided to the action. I have added a section explaining
this and also an example of using the `GITHUB_TOKEN` secret.

Fixes #114
