fix(ci): make backport update explicitly triggered via /update-backports

Replace the automatic pull_request synchronize trigger with an explicit
/update-backports comment command. This prevents the workflow from
failing on fork PRs (which lack access to secrets) and gives maintainers
explicit control over when backport PRs are re-synced.
