Subject: [PATCH] fix: convert lockfile refresh to PR-based flow for protected
 master

The refresh-lockfile workflow was pushing directly to master, which fails
with branch protection rules. Convert to use peter-evans/create-pull-request
to create a PR instead. Exempt the bot's branch from the lockfile policy check.
