Redefine the meaning of column is_active to make Actions Registration Token generation easier (#27143)

Partially Fix #25041

This PR redefined the meaning of column `is_active` in table
`action_runner_token`.
Before this PR, `is_active` means whether it has been used by any
runner. If it's true, other runner cannot use it to register again.

In this PR, `is_active` means whether it's validated to be used to
register runner. And if it's true, then it can be used to register
runners until it become false. When creating a new `is_active` register
token, any previous tokens will be set `is_active` to false.
