potential bug? - github.remote_repo_exists returns false with bad token even if repo exists.

[lwasser]

i'm addig this as a potential bug. I know that token="" When working with github.remote_repo exists. If you don't have a token or the token is BAD, it returns false even if the repo does exist.

Try this:
github.remote_repo_exists("earthlab", "earthpy", token="sdf")

i need to work on the test a bit more but right now if the token is bad it will return a false. what i don't know is if the bad token will always be caught before that check so i'm opening this knowing it may be addressed elsewhere but i don't see that yet. it is called once in template.py when we update the template repo.

When the repo doesn't exist, the API returns a 404, but when the token is bad it returns a 401. So, we can distinguish between the two.
