Github PR plugin: restarting a workspace is asking again to sign in

[sunix]

Describe the bug

Github PR plugin - Sign in is not persisted.

Che version

• latest 7.24.0
• nightly
• other: please specify

Steps to reproduce

1. start a workspace with the github pr plugin and a github project to clone.
2. sign in as requested
3. browse the gh panel -> ok
4. restart the workspace
5. sign in is requested again
6. also IF YOU DO NOT CLICK Sign in on time (say you gone to take a coffee), it is impossible to sign in again (command not available) -> need to restart again the workspace. (created Github PR plugin: cannot signin if not done "on time". #18783)

Expected behavior

Should not request sign in again, information should be persisted.
Ideally it should be persisted in the user level (so sign in once, would work for any workspace started by the user)
If not, at least it should be persisted for the workspace.

Also for 6. should have a command to sign in. created a additional issue for that #18783
