This reverts commit 1721e687c0.
The change was expected to solve the sporadic problems we were having
with Backport Assistant, but it end up creating even more failures.
Instead of attempting to pick each individual commit in a PR using
`BACKPORT_MERGE_COMMIT` only picks the commit that was merged into
`main`.
This reduces the amount of work done during a backport, generating
cleaner merges and avoiding potential issues on specific commits.
With this setting PRs that are not squashed will fail to backport and
must be handled manually, but those are considered exceptions.
Remove the step to automatically backport `backport/website` PRs to the
latest release. This will be done manually by adding the proper tags.
Also use squash backports to match the pattern we use for `main`.
