Description

With GitHub Enterprise Cloud with data residency becoming available, we've decided that GH_TOKEN will be used when targeting those hosts.

This PR clarifies that, and clarifies that ENTERPRISE_TOKEN is only used for GitHub Enterprise Server hosts.

We also adjusted GH_HOST because it wasn't quite accurate as there are more ways that a hostname can be provided or inferred than a local git repository.

Also reviewing local build of output 🤔

$ ./bin/gh help environment
`GH_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_TOKEN` (in order of precedence): an authentication token that will be
used when the host that is targeted by a command is either github.com or a subdomain of ghe.com.
Setting this avoids being prompted to authenticate and takes precedence over previously stored credentials.

`GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN` (in order of precedence): an authentication 
token that will be used when the host that is targeted by a command is a GitHub Enterprise Server instance.

`GH_HOST`: specify the GitHub hostname for commands where a hostname has not been provided, or 
cannot be inferred from the context of a local git repository. If this host was previously authenticated
with, the stored credentials will be used. Otherwise, setting `GH_TOKEN` or
`GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN` is required, depending on the targeted host.

Solid improvements! Handful of questions with some suggestions I can't say are blocking but are top of mind.

Output now looks like:

➜  ./bin/gh environment

`GH_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_TOKEN` (in order of precedence): an authentication token that will be used when
a command targets either github.com or a subdomain of ghe.com. Setting this avoids being prompted to
authenticate and takes precedence over previously stored credentials.

`GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN` (in order of precedence): an authentication
token that will be used when a command targets a GitHub Enterprise Server host.

`GH_HOST`: specify the GitHub hostname for commands where a hostname has not been provided, or
cannot be inferred from the context of a local git repository. If this host was previously
authenticated with, the stored credentials will be used. Otherwise, setting `GH_TOKEN` or
`GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN` is required, depending on the targeted host.

Which looks a bit nicer formatting wise I think.

### Release Notes

<details>
<summary>cli/cli (cli/cli)</summary>

### [`v2.62.0`](https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.62.0): GitHub CLI 2.62.0

[Compare Source](cli/cli@v2.61.0...v2.62.0)

#### What's Changed

-   Update monotonic verification logic and testing by [@&#8203;malancas](https://github.com/malancas) in cli/cli#9856
-   Check extension for latest version when executed by [@&#8203;andyfeller](https://github.com/andyfeller) in cli/cli#9866
-   Shorten extension release checking from 3s to 1s by [@&#8203;andyfeller](https://github.com/andyfeller) in cli/cli#9914
-   Mention GitHub CLI team on discussion issues by [@&#8203;andyfeller](https://github.com/andyfeller) in cli/cli#9920

**Full Changelog**: cli/cli@v2.61.0...v2.62.0

#### Security

-   A security vulnerability has been identified in GitHub CLI that could allow remote code execution (RCE) when users connect to a malicious Codespace SSH server and use the `gh codespace ssh` or `gh codespace logs` commands.

    For more information, see GHSA-p2h2-3vg9-4p87

#### GitHub CLI notifies users about latest extension upgrades

Similar to the notification of latest `gh` releases, the `v2.62.0` version of GitHub CLI will notify users about latest extension upgrades when the extension is used:

```shell
$ gh ado2gh
...

A new release of ado2gh is available: 1.7.0 → 1.8.0
To upgrade, run: gh extension upgrade ado2gh --force
https://github.com/github/gh-ado2gh
```

##### Why does this matter?

This removes a common pain point of extension authors as they have had to reverse engineer and implement a similar mechanism within their extensions directly.

With this quality of life improvement, there are 2 big benefits:

1.  Extension authors will hopefully see increased adoption of newer releases while having lower bar to maintaining their extensions.
2.  GitHub CLI users will have greater awareness of new features, bug fixes, and security fixes to the extensions used.

##### What do you need to do?

Extension authors should review their extensions and consider removing any custom logic previously implemented to notify users of new releases.

### [`v2.61.0`](https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.61.0): GitHub CLI 2.61.0

[Compare Source](cli/cli@v2.60.1...v2.61.0)

#### Ensure users understand consequences before making repository visibility changes

In `v2.61.0`, `gh repo edit` command has been enhanced to inform users about [consequences of changing visibility](https://gh.io/setting-repository-visibility) and ensure users are intentional before making irreversible changes:

1.  Interactive `gh repo edit` visibility change requires confirmation when changing from `public`, `private`, or `internal`
2.  Non-interactive `gh repo edit --visibility` change requires new `--accept-visibility-change-consequences` flag to confirm
3.  New content to inform users of consequences
    -   Incorporate [GitHub Docs content](https://gh.io/setting-repository-visibility) into help usage and interactive `gh repo edit` experience
    -   Expanded help usage to call out most concerning consequences
    -   Display repository star and watcher counts to understand impact before confirming
