Reviewer: One of the points of this initiative is to not have empty top level permissions. This permission is useless itself, since the job already has the ones it needs defined, but it is here so we don't flag the workflow anymore with empty top block permissions

Details
We want to set the default permissions for workflows to read-only for contents.
This is a security measure to prevent accidental changes to the repository.
This change adds a top-level permissions block to all workflows in the .github/workflows directory.
In some cases workflows might need more permissions than just
contents: read.Please checkout this branch and add the necessary permissions to the workflows.
If your workflow uses a Personal Access Token (PAT), we can still add the permissions block,
but it will not have any effect.
Merging this PR as is might cause workflows that need more permissions to fail.
If there are any questions, please reach out to the @elastic/observablt-ci
