Automate SSO authorization for classic PATs and SSH keys

GitHub Enterprise Cloud admins can now automate SSO authorization for existing classic personal access tokens and SSH keys instead of manually authorizing credentials per organization. Enterprise-installed GitHub Apps with the enterprise_credentials:write permission can call a new API to bulk-authorize a PAT or SSH key across up to 50 organizations in one request. The API identifies credentials by non-secret token ID or fingerprint, verifies organization membership and enterprise SSO usage, and skips organizations that already have active authorization. This targets service accounts and automation credentials that previously required manual per-organization rotation, which often led to overuse of long-lived tokens.
