Change the GHA to use client-id, instead of app-id

[a-maurice]

Description

Provide details of the change, and generalize the change in the PR title above.

app-id is deprecated in the greate-github-app-token workflow, so switch to client-id. Also, remove the "persist-credentials: false" across the workflows, as they cause a lot of issues.
