Crowdin Action force pushes as github-actions user, so PR checks don't get triggered

[nyadav810]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Background:

• My repository has a PR check set up to run on localization PRs opened by the Crowdin GH Action
• Once that PR check passes, the PR is auto-merged
• I'm using a Personal Access Token (specified via env.GITHUB_TOKEN) for a step that has create_pull_request: true
• The way our localization pipeline is setup, new translations can come in and get force pushed to an existing PR if that PR is not merged yet.

Problem:

• For force pushes, the commit author is github-actions (configured here)
• PR checks do not trigger for these commits, because Github Actions by design will not trigger other Github Action workflow runs (see Github docs).
• As a result, these PRs sit un-merged (because the check to auto-merge never runs), and someone has notice that, and then close & reopen the PR to get the PR checks to trigger.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Ideally we could use the value specified by GITHUB_TOKEN to push to the branch, or somehow provide an option to push to the branch not as github-actions. We have a 'bot' Github user that owns the PAT that would be ideal to use.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• N/A, we've just lived with this problem for a while

Hi @nyadav810, could you please check the Run test workflows on all commits of a PR section of the docs? This seems to be exactly the same case.

Please let me know if it helps.
