GitHub Actions: Allow writing PRs when auto-cherry-picking

[t-hamano]

• Follow-up Persist credentials when cherry-picking commits to a release branch #72556
• See the discussion on Slack: https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02QB2JS7/p1761133096282149?thread_ts=1761097846.014379&cid=C02QB2JS7

What?

When a PR is tagged with the Backport to WP X.X Beta/RC label, GitHub Action triggers it to automatically cherry-pick the PR into the wp/x.x branch. Some issues were resolved in #72556, and the cherry-pick itself now works correctly, but the following two workflows don't work:

• Remove the Backport to WP X.X Beta/RC label.
• Comment about the cherry-pick results on the PR.

My guess is that the reason is that the permission was limited to read by #69126.

It's quite difficult to test workflows. Happy to try this.
