.github/workflows/test-igor-rebase-exec-workflow.yml: Fix it for the …

…release branch

In c3e7dc3 (.github/workflows: Add job to compile test each commit,
2023-12-22) we introduced a compilation test of each commit in the branch.
But we assumed that the base branch, the branch we want to merge into, is
origin/main. This is not true for the release branches.

As there is no way to gather the base branch for on.push workflows [1] we
added some code to get the release branch with the highest version and
then check if we are an ancestor of that or origin/main.
