[BUG]: Empty or no provider information leads to error

[schlichtanders]

Expected Behavior

the github integration should work anonymously without providing any provider information

Actual Behavior

with no provider "github" {} I get the following error on the most recent version

│ Error: Invalid provider configuration
│ 
│ Provider "registry.terraform.io/integrations/github" requires explicit configuration. Add a provider block to the root module and configure the provider's required
│ arguments as described in the provider documentation.
│ 
╵
╷
│ Error: GET https://api.github.com/user: 401 Requires authentication []
│ 
│   with provider["registry.terraform.io/integrations/github"],
│   on <empty> line 0:
│   (source code not available)
│ 

with setting the empty provider "github" {}, I still get

╷
│ Error: GET https://api.github.com/user: 401 Requires authentication []
│ 
│   with provider["registry.terraform.io/integrations/github"],
│   on kube.tf line 754, in provider "github":
│  754: provider "github" {}

Steps to Reproduce

you could create a kubernetes cluster using https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner and see that it fails, but I guess that is not yet minimal enough.
