Publishing to github fails due to deprecated options in @octokit/rest.js

• I have read the contribution documentation for this project.

• I have searched the issue tracker for an issue that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Please describe your issue:

Using v5.2.0, attempting to publish to github releases. Seems like the github api host (api.github.com) is undefined for some reason. Possibly an issue with octokit

Console output when you run electron-forge with the environment variable DEBUG=electron-forge:*. (Instructions on how to do so here). Please include the stack trace if one exists.

What command line arguments are you passing?

electron-forge publish --target=github --platform=darwin

What does your config.forge data in package.json look like?

  "config": {
    "forge": {
      "make_targets": {
        "darwin": [
          "dmg"
        ]
      },
      "electronPackagerConfig": {
        "packageManager": "npm",
        "icon": "./src/assets/imgs/icon-1024.png"
      },
      "github_repository": {
        "owner": "positlabs",
        "name": "gif-goat"
      }
    }
  }

Please provide either a failing minimal testcase (with a link to the code) or detailed steps to reproduce your problem. Using electron-forge init is a good starting point, if that is not the source of your problem.

new version maybe should use baseUrl

in v15.2.7 so we can set protocol and host

"github_repository": {
      "owner": "MiYogurt",
      "name": "mmmmh",
      "options": {
          protocol: 'https',
          host: 'api.github.com'
      }
 },
