Fix documentation related to tokens. The secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN provided by the GitHub Actions App can do everything related to the repo if we elevate its permissions, including calling workflow_dispatch and repository_dispatch.

Some people in my organization are using PAT's instead of the secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN when using this action because of this README suggestion, even when they are calling the same repository. Using PATs in that contexts provides unnecessary security risks.
Fix: Information related to tokens in README
