Releases from Forgejo got 401 Bad credentials from GitHub even with a token that works locally.

A first step checks the token with gh api user and prints the account, so a bad token fails clearly.
GoReleaser reads the token from ~/.config/goreleaser/github_token with GITHUB_TOKEN unset, in case the runner puts its own Forgejo token there.
A manual run with a tag input releases that tag with this workflow (blank still builds a snapshot), so a failed release can be retried without moving the tag.

Releases from Forgejo got 401 from GitHub with a working token, so the
workflow now prints which GitHub account the token belongs to before
building, and GoReleaser reads it from its token file with GITHUB_TOKEN
unset. A manual run with a tag releases that tag again with this workflow,
so a failed release doesn't need its tag moved.
