Repair wp/7.0 branch Actions: widen push/pull_request branch filters

[desrosj]

Part of #82782.

What?

Widens push: branch filters across this branch's GitHub Actions workflows so they trigger correctly on a direct push to this branch, and removes workflow-lint.yml's pull_request branch filter entirely.

Why?

Ports upstream trunk's open PR #82744 (head commit 3fe3bd4aceb8331161e99d9bfc6a7463c048fcac as of this writing — the PR is still open/unmerged), "Workflows: Refine and complete the push and pull_request branch filters". Per the current version of that upstream PR, pull_request: triggers are deliberately left unfiltered everywhere (so a PR gets the same checks regardless of target branch) except workflow-lint.yml, where a previous trunk-only filter is removed entirely.

Workflow	Change	Why
pull-request-automation.yml	Removed the push trigger	Its push-triggered tasks check payload.ref !== 'refs/heads/trunk' and return immediately on this branch, so nothing happens on push here. pull_request_target is untouched and still does real work (fixed-issue assignment, first-time-contributor labeling) on PRs targeting this branch.
