Github Provider crashing on namespaces with github_repository_environment resource

[poornima-krishnasamy]

Apply pipeline crashed at pingdom provider for namespaces that has github_repository_environment resource created.

Currenly apply-live-c and apply-live-e failed in namespaces hmpps-manage-intelligence-preprod and manage-intelligence-dev. Having a closer look at those resources, they are referenced in 7 different namespaces

There is an issue with the provider and it is fixed in version 5.40.0: "Fixed incorrect error handling that led to panic in github_repository_environment by @nfx in integrations/terraform-provider-github#1932"

Testing in hmpps-manage-intelligence-preprod fixed the issue.

As part of this update, bump all github providers to 5.40.0 irrespective of this resource being used or not.

Why it is happening suddenly: Could this be the new github PAT which doesnt have enough permissions

After further investigation, this was because of the new github token permissions. It needs the actions: read.
