[Github] Simplify checkout in docs test workflow

[boomanaiden154]

This makes things quite a bit simpler and also gets rid of some API calls. We weren't hitting any API limits, but getting rid of them leaves more quota for other things should we ever need it. This just diffs the merge commit in the pull request workflows, which gives the diff for the PR.
