Updated naming of environment variables. New pattern [NAME]\_TOKEN for Github, Gitlab, Azure & Github enterprise access tokens.

### Detail:

- Previously we have to export same token for both, catalog & scaffolder

```bash
export GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=foo
export GITHUB_PRIVATE_TOKEN=foo
```

with latest changes, only single export is sufficient.

```bash
export GITHUB_TOKEN=foo
export GITLAB_TOKEN=foo
export GHE_TOKEN=foo
export AZURE_TOKEN=foo
```

  <tr>
    <th>Old name</th>
