[llvm] [workflows] Fix release note request workflow (PR #94784)

[Tom Stellard via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/tstellar created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/94784

We need to use the issue-write workflow to write the comments, because pull_request targets don't have permissions to write comments.

Subject: [PATCH] [workflows] Fix release note request workflow

We need to use the issue-write workflow to write the comments, because
