P2 Badge Paginate timeline before treating actor as latest

For PRs with more than 100 timeline events, this requests only one API page, so the array does not necessarily contain the most recent review_requested event. If a maintainer's later request falls outside that page while an older Dependabot request is present in it, the workflow selects the bot actor and deletes the maintainer's currently pending request—the manual-review case this guard is intended to preserve. Fetch all timeline pages (or otherwise query the latest matching event) before making the deletion decision.
