Improve the `issue_comment` workflow trigger event (#29277) (#29322)

Backport #29277 by @Zettat123

Fix #29175
Replace #29207

This PR makes some improvements to the `issue_comment` workflow trigger
event.

1. Fix the bug that pull requests cannot trigger `issue_comment`
workflows
2. Previously the `issue_comment` event only supported the `created`
activity type. This PR adds support for the missing `edited` and
`deleted` activity types.
3. Some events (including `issue_comment`, `issues`, etc. ) only trigger
workflows that belong to the workflow file on the default branch. This
PR introduces the `IsDefaultBranchWorkflow` function to check for these
events.
