[CI] Work around diff size limit for static checks

[AThousandShips]

See:

• embree: Update to 4.3.1 #88783 (comment)

Includes that PR just to verify it will solve the limit issue

Edit: Works as expected with the fetch, see here

Affects (as far as I can find):

• Add Metal support for macOS (arm64) and iOS #88199
• embree: Update to 4.3.1 #88783

Turns out this doesn't list all the files, but it at least works, as opposed to the other case, unsure how it can be solved better otherwise

Maybe we should fall back to this solution if the one using diff errors out?

If so it'd be a good idea to somehow signal that this fallback has happened.

I think I have an alternative solution, will push soon

[AThousandShips]

There, new and better solution works, using the number of commits in the PR from the action, should work well now, will rebase on top of updated PR and check properly

Tried to dig into the format and data in the actions but so far I didn't find an explicit list of files, so using a trick with just getting HEAD~n where n is the number of commits in a PR (ignore the previous typo making it only work by accident)

[Chubercik]

Can black leave me alone? 😩

One sec, I'll push a fix.

Done.

[AThousandShips]

Sorry for the false start, reverted to the github.event.pull_request.commits based method which always gives the complete PR data, ensuring it covers everything, now ready for review

Thanks!

[AThousandShips]

Thank you!

It seems to break a bit with merge commits, will try fix

Edit: False alarm, it just doesn't print the changed files properly, it does check them, so it's all okay

Edit 2: Seems it wasn't a false alarm and it just worked partially, new fix up and ready

Un-cherry-picked this and the new PR should be cherry-picked instead (manually or otherwise, no need to have a partial fix in there)
