fix: request auto-merge without --delete-branch under a merge queue - #6

Conversation
gh refuses --delete-branch when the base branch has a merge queue, so the workflow failed on every new sqlbuild pull request. Ask for branch deletion only when there is no queue; with one, the repository's delete-on-merge setting removes the branch.

--delete-branchwhen the base branch has a merge queue ("Cannot use -d or --delete-branch when merge queue enabled"), so Request Auto-Merge failed on sqlbuild#1421, the first new pull request since sqlbuild's queue went on.The step now asks GitHub whether the base branch has a merge queue and passes
--delete-branchonly when it doesn't. Repositories with a queue (sqlbuild, sqlquack) have delete-on-merge on, so their branches are still removed. Repositories without one keep today's behaviour, which matters because several (sqlclean, sqlload, sqlquack-evidence) don't have delete-on-merge on.Checked: actionlint, and the GraphQL query run against sqlbuild and sqlquack (queue, no flag) and sqlclean (no queue, flag kept). The live test is the next new sqlbuild pull request.
