fix: drop workflow-file PUT that 404s on freshly created split repos#87

Conversation
The sync-split-repo-config.sh script PUT a close-pull-requests workflow file to each split repo via the GitHub contents API. On a repo created seconds earlier by gh repo create, the contents API returns 404 "This repository is empty." because there is no default-branch commit yet, which killed the setup job and prevented the split matrix from running (observed on the PR #86 release for marko-database-readwrite). The workflow file was effectively dead code anyway: subtree splits force-push the package directory to refs/heads/main and refs/heads/develop on every release, so the workflow file never survived on any working split repo. Removing the PUT keeps only the settings PATCH (homepage, has_projects), which works fine on empty repos. The actual repo content lands via the split matrix's git push, which can bootstrap an empty repo. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
