Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Run the required checks in GitHub's merge queue

The merge queue builds a temporary branch of the target branch plus the
queued pull requests and waits for the required status checks on it. The
unit, code quality and docs workflows only ran on pull_request events, and
the GPU, example and regression workflows only on pushes to the copy-pr-bot
branches (pull-request/N) and on schedule, so no required check would ever
report on a merge group.

Add the merge_group trigger (checks_requested) to all six workflows and treat
a merge group like a PR run:

- The gate of the GPU, example and regression workflows and the unit tests'
  changed-files check diff the group against the commit it was built on (the
  pr-merge-base action reads it from the merge_group payload), so the same
  lanes run as on the PR and the wait for the unit `linux` check stays.
- The *-pr-required-check aggregators, the single-GPU runners, the example
  timeouts, hf_ptq's -n 4 and the left-out `manual` unit tests all key off
  "a PR run", which now includes a merge group.
- TruffleHog scans base..head of the group, like a PR.
- The Codecov uploads are skipped: a queue commit never lands on main.

Nightly, on-demand and PR runs behave as before. The queue itself is a
ruleset setting (see the PR description); CONTRIBUTING.md describes it.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Run the merge queue checks only for main, release/* and
 feature/*

The merge_group triggers had no branch filter, so a merge queue enabled on any
branch would start the required checks there. Give the six triggers the
branches of their pull_request triggers (main, release/*, feature/*), which are
the branches that have the required checks, and say so in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Wrap the long lines the merge queue change added to the
 workflows

The PR-like predicate made several runner, if and env values up to 193
columns wide. Fold them into `>-` scalars broken after `&&` / `||` (the
parsed YAML value is byte-identical) and wrap two shell conditions and two
comments, so no line this PR adds is longer than 110 columns.
