feat: deprecate github search api consumption

[babblebey]

This PR completely removes the consumption of the github search API from the plugin; following its relegation in #907 and the deprecation notice of the endpoint itself from github.

BREAKING CHANGE

@semantic-release/github no longer consumes the GitHub Search API in the plugin

Fixes #1022

@babblebey since this will be a breaking change, i retargeted this PR at the beta release branch that i created today to go along with the existing work for the npm plugin and for the core package to consume these betas.

what do you consider to be the current state of this change? do you have much more to do for this to be ready to merge?

Targeting at beta sounds good. In terms of getting this through, there's not much... I'll round this up in a bit.

Out of context, but the OIDC work is the work you meant when you mentioned the NPM plugin works, right!? 🤔

in this context, i just meant the beta of the npm plugin to get us to the latest major version. part of the motivation for that is for the upcoming oidc support for semantic-release/npm#958, but that is only just getting started. assuming it goes smoothly, i would like that support to be included in the upcoming major, but no guarantees yet

looks good. thanks for getting this taken care of!
