[llvm] [Github] Force changed files step to use GH API for code formatting (PR #69766)

[Aiden Grossman via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/boomanaiden154 created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/69766

This patch forces the code formatting action to use the GH API to get changed files rather than looking through the git history. This should save about 10m per job (most of the current runtime) due to the avoidance of expensive partial clone operations.
