Add debugging features and improve error handling

- Add --test-github-token flag to validate GitHub authentication
- Improve error messages for 401 authentication failures
- Add merge conflict detection before sync attempts
- Stop sync on first error for easier debugging
- Add GitHub repo creation support for --sync and --sync-all commands
- Add detailed token loading debug output
- Create test script for GitHub token validation
