fix: authenticate GitHub API requests and remove outdated release TODOs

[moshams272]

Summary

This PR removes outdated (TODO: ...) notes in the Webpack 5 release blog post, and spreads the githubHeaders object to attach GitHub authentication headers, preventing API rate limiting and CI script failures.

Verification on docs:

I double-checked the Webpack 5 source code:

• optimizationBailout is in ModuleGraph (not ChunkGraph).
• getChildIdsByOrders and getChildIdsByOrdersMap are remain in the Chunk.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation

  • Removed outdated TODO notes from descriptions of several Webpack 5 API and optimization changes.

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved error reporting when repository discovery requests fail.
  • Preserved existing request headers while adding GitHub authentication and API headers.
