  1. Improve docs for checking out a private repo 

    I tried using `actions/checkout` to checkout a private repo using the README, and I bumped into two issues:

1. I thought that `secrets.GitHub_PAT` was something that I got for free. It turns out that the user must create this secret themselves.
2. User-created secrets [cannot start with `GitHub_`](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/encrypted-secrets).

This change updates the README to clarify both of those points.
