in src/libfetchers/github.cc we do not specify the github api version. this is sorta busted but also it will just default to 2022-11-28 if not specified. it would be very easy to fix though. see:

https://docs.github.com/en/rest/about-the-rest-api/api-versions?apiVersion=2022-11-28

the thing that's weird is that we ask for api v3 on on-prem instances and don't specify for cloud github.com.

From what I understand, the v3 in the URL for on-prem instances is an old versioning for the REST API that is still leaking through, and not related to the currently used date-based API versioning scheme (2022-11-28).

So the version header should be added for both on-prem and cloud, and the v3 is just a fixed part of the URL for on-prem.
