README.md: Remove outdated instruction for GITHUB_TOKEN

Following commit b482702 ("pkg/github: Auto-populate GITHUB_TOKEN"), the tool no longer requires the GitHub token to be set explicitly by the user. Instead, it is able to rely on the GitHub command line to automatically fetch and use the relevant token. Let's remove the token-definition step from the instructions.
