Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(updater): Trigger CI for new PRs without changelog
 updates

New updater PRs can end with no branch update after creation when
changelog entries are disabled. Amend and push the created PR commit in
that case so GitHub emits a pull_request synchronize event.

Fixes: #164

 - Validate PR - Skip validation for PRs with fewer than 100 lines changed, excluding common lock files (`Cargo.lock`, `yarn.lock`, `package-lock.json`, `Pipfile.lock`, etc.). Tiny PRs no longer go through the issue-discussion loop.
 - Add validate-pr composite action for validating non-maintainer PRs against contribution guidelines ([#153](https://github.com/getsentry/github-workflows/pull/153))
