Subject: [PATCH] workflows/{check,reviewers}: don't run on PRs from secondary
 development branches

It makes no sense to check cherry picks or request reviewers on PRs from
staging-next to master, the same on backbranches or for haskell-updates
into staging.

(cherry picked from commit a3ce5970e073eba9afcdd0ff4174d383ee3fe64e)
