Fetch only the release script in the unflag workflow - #3398

Conversation
The default checkout pulled ~865 MB of history and ran for minutes. Sparse checkout alone still transferred 417 MB in 21s; adding filter: blob:none brings it to 392 KB in about 1s. The script stays a real file, still runnable locally.

LGTM, let's test it with another dry run of the unflag workflow

This PR fixes a slow checkout in the unflag-released-prs workflow. The job needs exactly one file, the release-detection script, but the default checkout pulled the whole repository: roughly 865 MB of history, mostly images under static/. A dry run spent close to three minutes in the Checkout step before being cancelled, against about 20 seconds for workflows that genuinely need the tree.
Two settings are needed and neither is sufficient alone: sparse-checkout limits what is written to the working tree, and filter: blob:none limits what is transferred at all. Measured locally against this repository, sparse checkout on its own still fetched 417 MB in 21 seconds, while adding the blob filter brings it to 392 KB in about 1 second, with the script as the only file in the working tree.
The script remains a real file in the repository rather than being inlined into the workflow, so it can still be run locally against any strapi/strapi PR number.
