access_token query is depreciated

[fredster33]

When using RepoSweeper, GitHub sends an email notification:

Hi @[username here],

On February 22nd, 2021 at 22:15 (UTC) your personal access token ([token name here]) using Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/90.0.4412.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/90.0.796.0 was used as part of a query parameter to access an endpoint through the GitHub API:

https://api.github.com/user/[redacted]/repos

Please use the Authorization HTTP header instead, as using the `access_token` query parameter is deprecated. If this token is being used by an app you don't have control over, be aware that it may stop working as a result of this deprecation.

Depending on your API usage, we'll be sending you this email reminder on a monthly basis for each token and User-Agent used in API calls made on your behalf.
Just one URL that was accessed with a token and User-Agent combination will be listed in the email reminder, not all.

Thanks,
The GitHub Team
