Uses PyGithub for GitHub interactions instead of the GitHub REST API
directly.
This simplifies the code, improves error handling and robustness, and
lets the PyGithub project abstract GitHub REST API changes that may
occur over time.

Uses `GitPython` instead of invoking the git executable directly.
This has the benefit of improving code readability and less support
code for binary interaction.

- Optimizes and makes the PIP module installation process for the
workflow more robust by caching the pip modules used so the only
time the workflow needs to reach to PyPi is when new PIP modules
are published.
- Improves long term stability by locking the major versions for PIP
modules in the workflow. This is to reduce overall maintenance over
time to automatically pick up new versions while also not being
broken in the process.
- Removes edk2-pytool-extensions as it is not used.
The new "requirements.txt" file is used to lock versions and support
the caching step which depends on a requirements file.
