Fix Backport Assistant PR commenting (#18200)

* Fix Backport Assistant failure PR commenting

For general comments on a PR, it looks like you have to use the `/issue`
endpoint rather than `/pulls`, which requires commit/other
review-specific target details.

This matches the endpoint used in `backport-reminder.yml`.

* Remove Backport Reminder workflow

This is noisy (even when adding multiple labels, individual comments per
label are generated), and likely no longer needed: we haven't had this
work in a long time due to an expired GH token, and we now have better
automation for backport PR assignment.

Manual backport of 1c7fcdf.
