Potential fix for https://github.com/retr0crypticghost/python-template/security/code-scanning/1

To fix the problem, we should add an explicit permissions block to the workflow or job definition. Since there is only one job (test-template) in this workflow, and nothing in the steps appears to require write access (no steps that create issues, PRs, or push changes), we can safely and minimally assign contents: read permissions, which is the lowest privilege that allows source code read actions such as actions/checkout. The permissions block should be inserted either directly within the job definition (recommended for a single job workflow like this) or at the root of the workflow if you want all jobs to inherit these permissions by default. The single best way to fix this is to add the following under the job definition (test-template: ...), above runs-on: ubuntu-latest, like so:

test-template:
  permissions:
    contents: read
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest

No additional imports or dependencies are required; this is a YAML configuration change only.
