Fix automated maintenance workflows failing on repository forks

[Copilot]

Problem

Contributors working on forks of the nextcloud/all-in-one repository were experiencing workflow failures with errors like "dependency-updates: All jobs were cancelled". This was happening because several automated maintenance workflows designed for the main repository were attempting to run on forks, where they would inevitably fail due to permission restrictions.

Root Cause

Seven automated workflows were running on all repositories (including forks) but were designed to perform maintainer-level tasks that only make sense in the context of the main repository:

• Creating pull requests against the upstream repository
• Using repository secrets and tokens
• Performing automated dependency updates and releases

When these workflows run on forks, they fail because:

• Forks lack permissions to create PRs against the upstream repository
• Required secrets (GITHUB_TOKEN, COMMAND_BOT_PAT) may not be available
• The workflows perform tasks that are redundant on forks

Solution

Added if: github.repository == 'nextcloud/all-in-one' conditions to all automated maintenance workflows to ensure they only run on the main repository. This is a common pattern in open-source projects to prevent unnecessary workflow runs on forks.

Workflows Updated:

• dependency-updates.yml - PHP dependency updates
• nextcloud-update.yml - Nextcloud container updates
• update-yaml.yml - YAML file updates
• imaginary-update.yml - Imaginary container updates
• psalm-update-baseline.yml - Psalm baseline updates
• talk.yml - Talk container updates
• update-helm.yml - Helm chart updates

Impact

✅ Contributors: No more cancellation errors when working on forks
✅ Validation workflows: Continue to run normally on forks (linting, testing, etc.)
✅ Main repository: All automated maintenance continues to work perfectly
✅ Performance: Reduced unnecessary workflow runs across the fork ecosystem

This change is purely additive - no functionality is removed, and the fix prevents workflow failures that were confusing for contributors while maintaining all existing automation for maintainers.
