Assign issues and PRs via the AUTO_ASSIGNEE org variable

[TrevorSchirmer]

Version: N/A (workflow-only change)

What does this implement/fix?

Auto Assign now assigns new issues and PRs to the user in the AUTO_ASSIGNEE organization variable (currently WestwardWinds) instead of a name hard-coded in this repo.

• Calls the shared ApolloAutomation/Workflows autoassign.yml@main with no assignees: input, so the org variable applies (Default auto-assign assignee to the AUTO_ASSIGNEE org variable Workflows#33 must be merged first)
• Runs on pull_request_target so assignment also works on fork-submitted PRs; the workflow never checks out or runs PR code

Workflow-only change, no firmware change.

Walkthrough

The auto-assignment workflow now uses pull_request_target for opened pull requests. It no longer skips fork-originated pull requests or passes explicit assignee settings to the reusable workflow.
