Private GitHub repos not listed when browsing user's repos

[bburky]

When running nbviewer locally with a GITHUB_API_TOKEN which has the "repo" permission, you can access the user's private repositories. This works fine.

A minor bug is that when browsing the list of users repositories, private repos are not listed.

That is when I go to http://192.168.99.100:8080/github/bburky/ I won't see my private repositories. But going to http://192.168.99.100:8080/github/bburky/private-repo/ it works fine.

This might be somewhat tricky to fix.

A quick glance at the GitHub API docs seems to indicate that only the /user/repos API endpoint includes private repos. The normal /users/{user}/repos endpoint doesn't ever include them.

Looks like it comes with a lot of other stuff, too, that would break our
URL schemes: repos for which a user is a member but not owner, etc.
Spitballing a usecase, I could certainly see a team that used private repos
on Big Github (as opposed to GHE), but wanted to host their own nbviewer.

This may actually have to be a whole separate provider, i.e. github-user,
because of the URL scheme, which will likely never be useful on
nbviewer.*.org... but it is testable, so it probably wouldn't be that
crazy... PRs accepted!
