github actions: Fix process-pull-request for forks

The process-pull-request workflow was failing for pull requests
originating from forked repositories. The previous implementation
incorrectly assumed the pull request branch existed on the base repository.

This commit corrects the workflow to ensure the pull request branch
is checked out from the correct source repository, while the base
branch is fetched from the target repository.
