GitHub asks developers to define workflow permissions, see https://github.blog/changelog/2021-04-20-github-actions-control-permissions-for-github_token/ and https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/automatic-token-authentication#modifying-the-permissions-for-the-github_token for securing GitHub workflows against supply-chain attacks.

The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) Scorecards also treats not setting token permissions as a high-risk issue.

This PR adds minimum token permissions for the GITHUB_TOKEN using https://github.com/step-security/secure-workflows.

This project is part of the top 100 critical projects as per OpenSSF (https://github.com/ossf/wg-securing-critical-projects), so fixing the token permissions to improve security.

I believe this PR should be sent to master based on https://laravel.com/docs/contributions#which-branch. If not, please let me know which branch to send it to.

@driesvints I observed you closed the PR. I am feeling surprised by this. Given that this is a recommendation by GitHub, and other top critical projects have accepted these changes, I need to understand why this was closed. Request you to please clarify why you don't think this should be merged. It will help me learn if I am missing something here. Thank you!
