Add an authentication mode to the GitHub provider whereby a Personal Access Token can be returned directly, as generated by a user manually. Update the terminal-based UI menu to support the new PAT mode.
Update the WPF-based Windows GUI for GitHub authentication prompts to support the third authentication mode "PAT". Also make some changes to how the dialog window is sized to scale with the size of the content (mins and maxes included), which may now vary in the extreme from all three auth options, to just one.

Add an authentication mode to the GitHub provider whereby a Personal Access Token can be returned directly, as generated by a user manually. This mode is always supported on both GitHub.com and GHES, as it should always be possible to create a PAT manually for whatever access is required.
This functionality sort-of already exists, but requires a few things:
GCM_GITHUB_AUTHMODES=basic)We update the WPF-based Windows GUI for GitHub authentication prompts to support the third authentication mode "PAT". There are also make some changes to how the dialog window is sized to scale with the size of the content (mins and maxes included), which may now vary in the extreme from all three auth options, to just one.
GitHub.com with OAuth and PAT options
GHES with basic and PAT options
GHES with the PAT option only
A scenario where all options are presented. Currently not possible due to GHES not supporting GCM Core via OAuth, and GitHub.com no longer supporting basic auth - showing to prove the case should this happen such as by user override, or in future development.
Fixes #222
