[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 1/1] .github: add github action to automate PR handling

[zhangdongdong@eswincomputing.com]

From: Dongdong Zhang <zhangdongdong@eswincomputing.com>

This patch updates the Buildroot repository's GitHub configuration to better
manage incoming pull requests.

- Added a new GitHub Actions workflow (`repo-lockdown.yml`) to automatically
  handle new pull requests.

The new workflow:
- Triggers on new pull requests.
- Uses the `dessant/repo-lockdown` action to:
  - Comment on the pull request, guiding contributors to use the mailing list
    for patch submission.
  - Lock the pull request to prevent further discussion.
  - Close the pull request.

This change ensures that contributors are properly directed to the preferred
method of patch submission via the mailing list, maintaining consistency and
streamlining the review process.
