On Merge Queue Branch Delete #1382

# This workflow handles cleanup after a branch is deleted.
# For MergeQueue (MQ) branches, we want to cancel redundant builds when an MQ PR is removed or reshuffled in the queue.
# NOTE: This workflow runs only from the main branch; it's safe to remove from LTS branches after deployment.
