Details
When getting ready to automerge a PR, we want to first make sure that it's mergeable. However, Github uses a background job to calculate mergeability... from the GH docs:
So we can't rely on the boolean result of the mergeable attribute to be readily available. This PR creates a custom Github Action to continually poll mergeability of a PR until the result is non-null, and output the end result.
Fixed Issues
Fixes failed workflow run: https://github.com/Expensify/Expensify.cash/runs/2133374703?check_suite_focus=true
Tests
Added automated tests for the new JS action.
Need to test it's usage in the workflow by merging this PR.
