 Build/Test Tools: Spawn fewer jobs in GitHub Actions on forks.

 The GitHub Actions workflows currently limit when jobs run for forks by
 short-circuiting any that are triggered by `push` events when not running
 within the `wordpress-develop` repository.

 Because the large majority of forks are not created under organizations,
 they will be subject to the individual account limit of 20 concurrent jobs
 (40 for pro accounts) at any given time instead of the 500 concurrent job
 limit that applies to the WordPress organization. This means that a single
 pull request back to a fork can take several hours to complete the
 workflow jobs that are spawned.

 This revises the conditional statements to further limit the number of
 jobs that spawn within a fork while still allowing the full test matrices
 for forks within the `WordPress` organization and pull requests back to
 `wordpress-develop`.

 These adjustments result in a maximum of 53 jobs when all workflows
 configured to run within forks are triggered. Of these, ~66% will run in
 less than 3 minutes, and ~55% will run in less than 1 minute.

 Props jorbin, johnbillion.
 Fixes #63752.
