Only run the scheduled cron for upstream:

https://dev.to/hugovk/til-how-to-disable-cron-for-github-forks-2d0l

This is a big CI matrix, we don't need to run the cron on forks, but contributors might nevertheless want run the CI before opening a PR (and clogging up the upstream CI queue).


Background: when pushing stuff to other repos, I was wondering why it was taking a long time for jobs to get a runner, but only in the afternoon, and for two or three hours.

After checking it's not a GitHub outage, I figured out it must be a cron from another repo I'd forked. But not so easy to find when you have over 1,000 forks! So I wrote a script to call the gh CLI to find which repo currently had a running CI, and surprise, surprise, it was this big 'un! :D

(As it happens, I got to use the same script a few days later to find another running in the morning!)

Thanks! This makes sense to me. I feel like we could also just disable the scheduled jobs entirely as I don't really use them in any way.
