Allow unauthenticated usage for public API endpoints

[StephenKing]

Hi there,

Terraform Version

Run terraform -v to show the version. If you are not running the latest version of Terraform, please upgrade because your issue may have already been fixed.

Affected Resource(s)

Please list the resources as a list, for example:

• data.github_ip_ranges
• data.github_repositories
• data.github_* actually..

Terraform Configuration Files

provider "github" {
  organization = "" # required setting
  token = "" # required setting
}

data "github_ip_ranges" "this" {}

output "github_ip_ranges_hooks" {
  value = "${data.github_ip_ranges.this.hooks}"
}

Expected Behavior

The API endpoint https://api.github.com/meta can be reached without authentication. It would be easier to use this data source (or the github data sources in general), if the provider wouldn't enforce that a token is given.

I know that rate limiting can kick in a lot earlier then. But for the use case of white-listing the IP addresses that GitHub uses to deliver hooks, our Terraform deployment would be easier and the number of calls sufficiently low.

Actual Behavior

I'm asked to provide a Github token.
