Configlet sync CI is broken

[BNAndras]

@ErikSchierboom, we have a GHA that regularly uses configlet to check for unsynced files at https://github.com/exercism/emacs-lisp/actions/workflows/configlet-sync.yml, but it's been broken for over a year due to rate limits. Is this something fixable?

Maybe check the logs to see if https://github.com/exercism/emacs-lisp/blob/main/.github/workflows/configlet-sync.yml#L17-L23 does indeed do an authenticated request? Or else simulate that locally.

Looking at CI, it looks like what is failing is the issue creation. Maybe check if the authentication is working there? Or else try updating the workflow?

If we find a solution we should also fix it for the common-lisp track, which has the same job and issue: https://github.com/exercism/common-lisp/blob/c35edf8095e87c64b9c2f22ea08a2da7024a3411/.github/workflows/configlet-sync.yml

this may be a long standing issue with create-an-issue

Same error here. It seems to be triggered easily when using the "update_existing: true" parameter, so the search/issues endpoint is the one affected by the secondary rate limit.

We probably could get rid of this setting as we're closing the issue each time.
