GitHub Workflows security hardening (#14513)
This PR adds explicit [permissions section] to workflows. This is a security best practice because by default workflows run with [extended set of permissions] (except from `on: pull_request` [from external forks]). By specifying any permission explicitly all others are set to none. By using the principle of least privilege the damage a compromised workflow can do (because of an [injection] or compromised third party tool or action) is restricted. It is recommended to have [most strict permissions on the top level] and grant write permissions on [job level] case by case.
