[PR] ci: fix resolve-cassandra-version GitHub API rate limit (403 error) [cassandra-gocql-driver]
mykaul opened a new pull request, #1940:
URL: https://github.com/apache/cassandra-gocql-driver/pull/1940
## Summary
- Use `gh` CLI with authenticated GitHub API access for Cassandra version resolution in CI, avoiding the 60 req/hr unauthenticated rate limit that causes 403 errors on shared GitHub Actions runner IPs
- Fall back to the existing `get-version` tool for environments without `gh` CLI or a GitHub token (e.g., developer laptops)
- Set `GH_TOKEN` in the `test-integration-cassandra` workflow job
## Problem
`make resolve-cassandra-version` fails in CI because the `get-version` tool (`scylladb-actions/get-version` v0.4.3) makes **unauthenticated** requests to `https://api.github.com/repos/apache/cassandra/tags`. The unauthenticated rate limit is 60 requests/hour per IP, and GitHub-hosted runners share IPs, so the limit is frequently hit. The tool has exponential backoff retry, but cannot recover when the rate window hasn't reset.
The `get-version` tool has no `--token` flag or `GITHUB_TOKEN` env var support ([source](https://github.com/scylladb-actions/get-version/blob/main/sources/github/github.go#L63-L66)), so the fix must be done on the caller side.
## Solution
When `gh` CLI is available and `GH_TOKEN`/`GITHUB_TOKEN` is set (always true in GitHub Actions), use `gh api --paginate` for authenticated tag fetching (5000 req/hr). Otherwise, fall back to `get-version` as before.
Fixes #794
