Subject: [PATCH] New GitHub workflow to prohibit autosquash commits

This prohibits commits whose commit message starts with "squash!",
"fixup!", or "amend!" unless the PR has the 'pr-permit-autosquash'
label.  Such commits are created via the `--fixup` or `--squash`
options to `git commit`, and cause `git rebase --autosquash` to
automatically adjust the todo list appropriately before performing the
rebase.  Their existence implies that the PR should be rebased with
`--autosquash` before merging.
