* Drop `InvalidGitHubTokenError` * `validate_github_token` now emits a `UserWarning` instead of raising * Update tests to: * assert no warnings for valid tokens (via `recwarn`) * expect `UserWarning` for malformed tokens * Reduces false-positives and is future-proof if GitHub introduces new token formats Closes #380

We don't need to validate the token with pattern matching and the warning is useless here i guess.
When the token is invalid (malformed or just invalid) we correctly handle the error:
I don't see why we validate and log the validation result here.

I think the validation is informative. Just a little message saying "this does not look like a proper token, tokens usually start with gh_ blablabla" because yeah, believe me, i've seen too many people struggle with access tokens and just put their plain password or something
