Skipped GitHub Actions jobs prevent automatic merging of PRs

[scothis]

We've been happily using Dependabot's auto merge capability after CI has passed and the PR is approved. GitHub Actions recently started to report the status of jobs that were conditionally skipped for the workflow. PRs with these skipped jobs no longer automatically merge.

For example, this PR is approved and CI passed, but it has not merged:

projectriff/builder#303

(note that I manually merged after 4 days where Dependabot should have merged)

Other PRs without skipped jobs continue to merge as expected:

projectriff/streaming-http-adapter#45

I've wondered about this aswell. Here's an example where even a merge comment doesn't do anything:

We have observed this behavior as well in our organization.

It seems to have started at the very end of the month of April , when "automatic PR review assigment" finally started to work for dependabot's PRs , but telling "squash and merge" would not merge the PR.

Just to link issues together, this seem to be similar to #948 as well

Pushed a fix for merging/automerging when there are skipped check runs. Rolling out fix for both versions of Dependabot.
