Update students' PR stats #964

	name: Update students' PR stats
	# Updates ./stats/pr-stats.md on every push to main/master.
	# Changes are pushed directly to main/master.
	# Relies on GH actions logic that prevents action to trigger itself.
	#
	# Q1: Why not `on pull_request: types: [closed] branches: [master, main]` + `if: github.event.pull_request.merged == true`?
	# A1: Apparently workflows on PRs from forks are run in the context of forks
	# where github actor has no sufficient privileges to push to the base repo.
	#
	# Uses GitHub CLI app provided by GitHub runner.
