ci: declare contents:read on publish workflow#9442

publish.yml runs `./gradlew publish` against Maven Central with Sonatype + GPG credentials passed via secrets. The workflow's own GITHUB_TOKEN isn't used by Gradle for the publish, so contents:read is the minimum. Matches the workflow-level permissions block already used in build.yml and the per-job blocks in containers.yml / docs.yml. Signed-off-by: Arpit Jain <[email protected]>

The
publishworkflow runs on tag push and invokes./gradlew publish. The actual authentication for Maven Central + GPG signing flows throughORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_*secrets (SONATYPE_CENTRAL_USERNAME,SONATYPE_CENTRAL_PASSWORD,GPG_SECRET_KEY,GPG_SECRET_PASSPHRASE), not the workflowGITHUB_TOKEN. There's no other GitHub API call beyondactions/checkout.This patch adds
