### Description This PR adds minimum token permissions for the GITHUB_TOKEN in GitHub Actions workflows using [secure-workflows](https://github.com/step-security/secure-workflows). The GitHub Actions workflow has a GITHUB_TOKEN with write access to multiple scopes. Here is an example of the permissions in one of the workflow runs: https://github.com/apache/tomcat/actions/runs/3161137642/jobs/5146391221#step:1:19 After this change, the scopes will be reduced to the minimum needed for the following workflow: - ci.yml ### Motivation and Context - This is a security best practice, so if the GITHUB_TOKEN is compromised due to a vulnerability or compromised Action, the damage will be reduced. - [GitHub recommends](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/automatic-token-authentication#modifying-the-permissions-for-the-github_token) defining minimum GITHUB_TOKEN permissions. - The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) [Scorecards](https://github.com/ossf/scorecard) also treats not setting token permissions as a high-risk issue. This change will help increase the Scorecard score for this repository. Signed-off-by: Ashish Kurmi <aku...@stepsecurity.io> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
