These two commits ensure that our CI status matching improves, however, it's still not perfect.
Previously, we only looked at check_runs status when the combined_status was empty. Now we look at the native GitHub actions check_runs in any case, and even avoid an API call if check runs have failed.
This means that effectively we create our own combined_status out of external CIs and check runs.

There is still a corner case I'm unsure how to handle. When a PR has checks defined, but they haven't been triggered (I presume that external contributors don't have the permissions in this case?), the API returns total_count = 0.
So while the correct state would be pending, we cannot know if there are maybe no GitHub checks defined or if they haven't been triggered.
Here's a PR that I ran into with this problem: osbuild/cloud-image-val#283
It's currently part of the queue, even though CI hasn't run.

We can of course also decide to ignore this corner case because there may not be a pretty solution to it.

The API actually returns the expected amount of checks, so rely on that
vs. on len(runs).
Also, only return the short status so matching becomes more elegant
(plus we don't use that information anywhere).

@schuellerf @marusak @achilleas-k FYI, this improves CI status matching, but there's still a corner case left.
