Comment (by helen):

 More on the secret/const idea:

 * `WP_GHA_PR`, `WP_GHA_TRUNK`, `WP_GHA_BRANCHES` for pull requests,
 trunk/master, and SVN branches (X.Y) respectively.

 I remembered that you can disable individual workflows in the GitHub
 Actions UI, but I think that does still require an initial run so you then
 see it in the UI to be able to disable it, which may still be bad for
 minutes. If we wanted it to be more of an opt-in route, then we could also
 implement something like:

 * `WP_TEST_ALL`, `WP_TEST_PHPUNIT`, `WP_TEST_PHPCS`, etc. for test
 workflows, and decide whether the rest need code level disabling or if
 they're okay to just disable in the UI.

 Most people would then want to set `WP_GHA_PR` and `WP_TEST_ALL` on their
 forks. Thoughts?
