[llvm] [GitHub] Support issue_comment workflows in issue_write (PR #192205)

https://github.com/lukel97 created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/192205

This is split off from #190010. We want to add a new workflow triggered whenever a comment is added to an issue (workflow_run.event == 'issue_comment'), that also writes an comment back via the issue_write workflow.

However for issue_comment workflows, the head branch for the workflow won't be the head of the PR, but the default branch of the repository. So trying to fetch the PR based on the branch will fail.

GitHub docs seem to recommend that the PR number is explicitly passed via an artifact in these cases: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflows-and-actions/events-that-trigger-workflows#using-data-from-the-triggering-workflow

This PR adds support for this so we can eventually leave comments from the test-suite.yml workflow
