Follow up of cli#7612 The `missingWorkflowScopeRE` is defined to capture the error message when the `GH_TOKEN` does not have `workflow` scope in `gh repo sync <remote>`, but this is only intended for error messages for OAuth Apps and does not work with GitHub Apps. In GitHub App, you will get the following error: ``` { "message": "refusing to allow a GitHub App to create or update workflow `.github/workflows/teamcity-pr-checks.yml` without `workflows` permission", "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest/branches/branches#sync-a-fork-branch-with-the-upstream-repository", "status": "422" } ``` As you can see above, the existing regexp does not match the "`workflows` permission". This change modifies the regexp to return the user-friendly error message when the `workflow` permission is missing, even in the case of a GitHub App.

Boy, this ended up being a doozy to test, but with the wizardry of @andyfeller we managed to validate this change in a workflow 🥳
