List gists forked by a user

GET/users/{username}/forked

Lists gists the named user has forked, filtered to what the caller may see. The user's own private/unlisted forked gists only surface when the caller IS that user AND their token holds the gist:read scope; any other caller sees public forked gists only.

Results are a JSON array; pagination is conveyed via the Link and X-* response headers (see the response headers below).
