GHA: Attempt fix exceeded a secondary rate limit
Frequent but intermittently, the stale issue and PR locking workflow
generates the error:

```
You have exceeded a secondary rate limit. Please wait a few minutes
before you try again. If you reach out to GitHub Support for help,
please include the request ID XYZ
```

According to upstream `dessant/lock-threads` issue 48, this seems to be
coming from the GitHub side (bug/feature/limitation), since the action
uses an official github API rate-limiting library.  It's unlikely related
to which style/syntax of github token is used, nor if the action is
executed concurrently across multiple repos.

According to the rate-limiting docs:
https://docs.github.com/en/rest/using-the-rest-api/rate-limits-for-the-rest-api?apiVersion=2022-11-28#about-secondary-rate-limits
it's possible the issue is caused due to an unknown aspect of the clause:

```
These secondary rate limits are subject to change without notice. You
may also encounter a secondary rate limit for undisclosed reasons.
```

The same docs indicate Github Apps have enhanced rate-limits which
scale with the org's repo count.  Attempt to fix the intermittent
failures by making use of a new, dedicated, org-specific, private "Stale
Locking App" I recently created.  This requires the addition of a new
action to the workflow that obtains a short-lived token for passing to
lock-threads.

Note: Because both `vars.STALE_LOCKING_APP_ID` and
`secrets.STALE_LOCKING_APP_PRIVATE_KEY` are defined at the
containers-organization level, the Buildah and Skopeo re-use
of this workflow should continue to function normally w/o change.
