block checking out fork pr for pull_request_target and workflow_run

[aiqiaoy]

Implements https://github.com/github/c2c-actions/pull/10159

TL;DR; This PR adds a check that refuses to check out fork pull request code when the workflow trigger is either pull_request_target or workflow_run, unless the workflow author explicitly opts in via a new input allow-unsafe-pr-checkout: true.

Pull request overview

Adds a guardrail to prevent accidentally checking out fork pull request code in privileged GitHub Actions contexts (pull_request_target and PR-triggered workflow_run), with an explicit opt-in escape hatch for advanced workflows.

Changes:

• Introduces assertSafePrCheckout to detect and block unsafe fork-PR checkouts in privileged events unless allow-unsafe-pr-checkout is enabled.
• Adds a new action input (allow-unsafe-pr-checkout) and threads it through input parsing and settings.
• Updates documentation and adds test coverage for the new safety checks.
