build: use github access token for docs site monitoring (#24691)

We recently seemed to hit the rate limit in the docs site monitoring
job. We can use a Github access token to avoid these rate limit failures.

We move the token extraction to a common location where the GCP key is
also extracted, and we use a more granular variable name to make sure it's
obvious where the key is used (when added to CircleCI)
