Workflows: Token generation as a step rather than a job

[justinretzolk]

Description

While #32849 correctly moved authentication to a GitHub App generated token, it did not take into account another caveat to Actions: job outputs that contain sensitive data are dropped and not emitted by runners. This PR moves token generation to a step within the jobs that need it to overcome this.

Job outputs containing expressions are evaluated on the runner at the end of each job. Outputs containing secrets are redacted on the runner and not sent to GitHub Actions.
