Auto-merge package PRs that are trusted to build (#867)

A package PR approved to build, by its author being trusted or by the
build-approved label, sat open after going green until someone merged it by
hand, so nothing it built was published. Enable GitHub's auto-merge on it
with PKGS_BOT_TOKEN, so the merge lands once the required checks pass and
starts publish.yml.

The trust rule is build-pr.yml's. Only PRs changing nothing outside
pkgbuilds/ qualify: a PR's own tooling never runs in its build, and after
merge it runs with the publish secrets. The upstream sync, which labels its
own PRs, stays on the reviewed lane. Removing build-approved withdraws the
auto-merge.

the PR's in-flight build: the new build waits for it and then reuses its
artifacts, so a long aarch64 build is not restarted by every sync.
Package PRs that are trusted to build also merge themselves.
`auto-merge-pr.yml` enables auto-merge (with `PKGS_BOT_TOKEN`, so the merge
publishes) on any open, non-draft PR whose author is a collaborator, vouched,
or a bot, or that carries **`build-approved`**, and that changes nothing
outside `pkgbuilds/`. The PR lands once `result`, `self-tests` and
`build-isolation` pass; a red build stays open. PRs that also touch
workflows, scripts or build tooling still need a maintainer to merge, as does
the upstream sync (`auto/sync-upstream`), which labels itself. Removing
`build-approved` withdraws the auto-merge it armed. For a PR opened before
the workflow existed, run it by hand: `gh workflow run auto-merge-pr.yml -f pr=<number>`.
To approve builds for an unvouched contributor's PR, apply **`build-approved`**.
Until approval, the PR shows **Awaiting build approval** and its required
`result` check stays pending, keeping the PR blocked from merging without
