Tom Boucher ef2c0a2b7b fix(#1389): exempt auto-backmerge PRs from the Require Issue Link gate (#1391) ...

The required "Issue link required" check failed on automated back-merge
PRs (chore/backmerge-main-to-next-<sha>), which legitimately map to no
issue — a `Closes #N` would pollute the released CHANGELOG. When such a
PR parks for manual review (needs_review), the maintainer could only
merge via --admin.

Carve them out at the failing step's `if:` (step-level, so the required
check still reports SUCCESS rather than a branch-protection-blocking
"skipped"), keyed on the workflow-authored branch name AND same-repo
identity so a fork PR cannot forge the exemption.
